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 nothing 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, a mean pinball!

chorus:
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';
He plays be sense of smell
Always gets a replay,
'N' never seen him fall
That deaf, dumb and blind kid

Sure plays a mean pinball, a mean pinball!

I thought I was
The Bally table king
But I just handed
My pinball crown to him

Even at my favourite table,
He can beat my best
His disciples all 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!
