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 and blind kid sure plays a mean pinball      He stands like a statue, becomes part of the machine   Feelin' all the bumpers, always playin' 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 no buzzes or bells   Don't see no lights a-flashin', he plays by sense of smell   Always have a replay, and never talks at all   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 freek's gonna beat my      Even on my favourite table, he can beat the best   His disciples lead 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.      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 even more   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 him
