Ever since I was a young boy I've played the silver ball From SoHo down to Brighton I must have played them 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 Got such a supple wrist How do you think he does it? I don't know What makes him so good? Well, he ain't got no distractions Can't hear no buzzers and 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 He can't beat me now I've always been the champ I know it's a trick No freak's gonna beat my hand He can beat my favorite 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 them 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 Got such a supple wrist He's a pinball wizard His score shoots even more A pinball wizard The world's 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 him
