Ever since I was a young boy I 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
ย
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 pinball
ย
He's a pinball wizard, there has to be a twist
A 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 or bells
Don't see lights a-flashing, he plays by sense of smell
Always has a replay, never tilts at all
That deaf, dumb and blind kid sure plays a mean pinball
ย
He can't beat me now
I've always been the champ
I know every trick
No freak's gonna beat my hand
ย
Even on my favourite table, he can beat my best
His disciples lean him in and he just does the rest
He's got crazy flipper fingers, I've never seen him fall
That deaf, dumb and blind kid sure plays a mean pinball
ย
He's a pinball wizard, there has to be a twist
A pinball wizard's got such a supple wrist
He's a pinball wizard, he's scoring even more
A pinball wizard for the girls who dig pinball lore
He's scoring more
He's scoring more
ย
I thought I was the Bally table king
But I just handed my pinball crown to him
To him
To him!
