Pinball Wizard

Ever since I was a young boy

I've played the silver ball

From Soho down to Brighton

I must have played them all

But I ain't seen nothing like him

In any amusement hall

That deaf dumb and blind kid

Sure plays a mean pin ball

He stands like a statue

Becomes part of the machine

Feeling all the bumpers

Always playing clean

He plays by intuition

The digit counters fall

That deaf dumb and blind kid

Sure plays a mean pin ball

He's a pin ball wizard

There has got to be a twist

A pin ball wizard

S'got such a supple wrist

'How do you think he does it

I don't know

What makes him so good '

He ain't got no distractions

Can't hear those buzzers and bells

Don't see lights a flashin'

Plays by sense of smell

Always has a replay

Never tilts at all

That deaf dumb and blind kid

Sure plays a mean pin ball

I thought I was

The Bally table king

But I just handed

My pin ball crown to him

Even my usual 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 kind

Sure plays a mean pin ball
