Pinball Wizard Song Lyrics
Ever since I was a young boyI’ve played the silver ballFrom Soho down to BrightonI must have played ’em allBut I ain’t seen nothing like himIn any amusement hallThat deaf, dumb and blind kidSure plays a mean pinball
He stands like a statueBecomes part of the machineFeeling all the bumpersAlways playing cleanHe plays by intuitionThe digit counters fallThat deaf, dumb and blind kidSure plays a mean pinball
He’s a pinball wizardThere has got to be a twistA pinball wizard’sGot such a supple wrist
How do you think he does it? I don’t knowWhat makes him so good?
Ain’t got no distractionsCan’t hear no buzzers and bellsDon’t see no lights a-flashin’Plays by sense of smellAlways gets a replayNever seen him fallThat deaf, dumb and blind kidSure plays a mean pinball
I thought I wasThe Bally table kingBut I just handedMy pinball crown to him
Even on my favorite tableHe can beat my bestHis disciples lead him inAnd he just does the restHe’s got crazy flipper fingersNever seen him fallThat deaf, dumb and blind kidSure plays a mean pinball
