Pinball Wizard

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 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 got such a supple wrist How do you think he does it 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 tilts at all That deaf dumb an' blind kid Sure plays a mean pinball 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 kid Sure plays a mean pinball
