Pinball Wizard Lyrics

Pinball Wizard lyrics

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!
