Pinball Wizard (Live at Leeds)

[Verse 1: Roger Daltrey]

Ever since I was a young boy, I've played the silver ball

From Soho down to Brighton, I must've played 'em all

But I ain't seen nothing like him in any amusement hall

That deaf, dumb, and blind kid sure plays a mean pinball

[Verse 2: Roger Daltrey]

He stands like a statue, becomes part of the machine

Feeling all the bumpers, always playing clean

Plays by intuition, the digit counters fall

That deaf, dumb, and blind kid sure plays a mean pinball

[Chorus 1: Pete Townshend & Roger Daltrey]

He's a pinball wizard, there has to be a twist

A pinball wizard's got such a supple wrist

[Post-Chorus: Pete Townshend & Roger Daltrey]

How do you think he does it? I don't know!

What makes him so good?

[Verse 3: Roger Daltrey]

Ain't got no distractions, can't hear no buzzes and bells

Don't see no lights a-flashing, plays by sense of smell

Always gets the replay, never seen him fall

That deaf, dumb, and blind kid sure plays a mean pinball

[Chorus 2: Roger Daltrey & Pete Townshend]

I thought I was the Bally table king

But I just handed my pinball crown to him

[Verse 4: Roger Daltrey]

Even on my favourite table, he can beat my best

His disciples lead him in, and he just does the rest

He's got crazy flipper fingers, never seen him fall

That deaf, dumb, and blind kid sure plays a mean pinball
