Ever since I was a young boy I've played the silver ball From Soho down to Brighton I must have played them all 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 He 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's got such a supple wrist How do you think he does it I don't know What makes him so good He ain't got no distractions Can't hear those buzzers and bells Don't see lights a-flashin' Plays by sense of smell Always has a replay Never tilts atall That deaf dumb and blind kid Sure plays a mean pinball He can't beat me now I've always been the champ I know every trick No freak's gonna beat my hand <♪> Even at my usual table He can beat my best His disciples lead him in An' 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 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 scores a trillion more A pinball wizard The worlds new pinball lord He's scoring more He's scoring more <♪> I thought I was The Bally Table king But I just handed my Pinball crown to him to him to hi-i-i-m
