Ever since I was a young boy,
I've played the silver ball
From Soho down to Brighton
I must've played them all
But I never seen anything 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 no buzzers and bells
Don't see no lights a flashin',
Plays by sense of smell,
Always has a replay,
An' never tilts at all
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
Even at my favorite table
He can beat my best
His disciples lead him in
And he just does the rest
He's got crazy flipper fingers,
Never seen him fall
That deaf, dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball!!!
