Pinball Wizard

Ever since I was a young boy
I've played the silver ball
From Soho down to Brighton
I must have 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
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
The pinball wizard'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 buzzes and bells
Don't see no lights a-flashing
Plays by sense of smell
He always gets a replay
I've 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 favourite table
He can beat my best
Disciples lead him in
And he just does the rest
Got crazy flipper fingers
I've never seen him fall
That deaf, dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball
He sure plays a mean pinball
He sure plays a mean pinball
He sure plays a mean pinball
He sure plays a mean pinball
