Lyric 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 pinball

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

He s a pinball wizard
There has to be a twist
A pinball wizard
He s got such a supple wrist

How do you think he does it?
(I don t know)
What makes him so good?

Ain t got no distractions
Can t hear no buzzers and bells
See lights a flashin
Plays by sense of smell
Always gets a replay
Never seen him fall
That deaf, dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball

I thought I was
The Bally table king
But I just handed
My pinball crown to him

Even on 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 kid
Sure plays a mean pinball
