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 anything like him

In any amusment 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 gut no distractions

Can't hear those buzzers and bells.

Don't see lights a-flashin.

Play's by sense of smell.

Always has a replay,

An' never tilts atall

That deaf, dumb, and blind kid

Sure plays 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 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!
