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 allBut I ain't seen nothin' like him
In any amusement hall
That deaf, dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinballHe stands like a statue
Becomes part of the machine
Feelin' all the bumpers
Always playing cleanHe plays by intuition
The digit counters fall
That deaf, dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinballHe's a pinball wizard
There has to be a twist
A pinball wizard
Got such a supple wristHow 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'
He plays by sense of smellAlways has a replay
And never tilts at all
That deaf dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinballHe can't beat me now
I've always been the champ
I know every trick
No freak's gonna beat my handEven at my favorite table
He can beat my best
His disciples lead him in
And he just does the restHe's got crazy flipper fingers
I've never seen him fall
That deaf dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinballHe's a pinball wizard
There has to be a twist
A pinball wizard
Got such a supple wristHe'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 moreI thought I was
The bally table king
But I just handed my
Pinball crown to him
To him
To him
