Lyrics
[Verse 1] Ever since I was a young boy, I played the silver ball From Soho down to Brighton, I must've 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus 1] He's a pinball wizard, there has to be a twist A pinball wizard's got such a supple wrist [Post-Chorus] (How do you think he does it?) I don't know (What makes him so good?) [Verse 3] Well, he ain't got no distractions, can't hear no buzzes and bells Don't see lights a-flashin', 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 [Chorus 2] He can't beat me now, I've always been the champ I know every trick, no freak's gonna beat my hand [Bridge] (Oh, can't explain) (Oh, can't explain) (Oh, can't explain) (Oh, can't explain) [Verse 4] Even on my usual 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 [Chorus 1] He's a pinball wizard, there has to be a twist A pinball wizard's got such a supple wrist [Chorus 3] He's a pinball wizard, he scores a trillion more A pinball wizard, the world's new pinball lord He's scoring more, he's scoring more [Chorus 4] I thought I was the Bally table king But I just handed my pinball crown to him To him, to him
