Pinball Wizard

Written by：Townshend Pete

Ever since I was a young boy

I played the silver ball

From soho down to brighton

I must have played 'em all

But I ain't seen nothin' like him

In any amusement hall

That deaf dumb an' blind kid sure plays a mean pinball

He stands like a statue becomes part of the machine

Feelin' all the bumpers always playin' clean

He plays by intuition the digit counters fall

That deaf dumb an' blind kid sure plays a mean pinball

He's a pinball wizard

There has to be a twist

A pinball wizard's

Got such a supple wrist

So how do you think he does it

I don't know what makes him so good

Ain't got no distractions

Can't hear those buzzes and bells

Don't see lights aflashin' plays by sense of smell

Always gets a replay never seen him fall

That deaf dumb an' blind kid sure plays a mean pinball

I thought I was the body table king

But I just handed my pinball crown to him

Even on my favorite table he can't 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
