Ever since I was a young boy,
I've played the silver ball.
From Soho down to Brighton,
I must have played them all.
I ain't seen nothing like him
In any amusement hall.
That deaf, dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball!
Stands like a statue,
Becomes part of the machine.
Feeling all the bumpers,
Always playing clean.
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,
got such a supple wrist.
How do you think he does it?
I don't know
What makes him so good?
Ain't got no distractions
Can't hear no buzzers and bells
See no lights a-flashin';
Plays by sense of smell.
Always gets a replay,
Never tilts at all.
That deaf, dumb and blind kid...
Sure plays a mean pinball!
Thought I was the Bally table king
But I just handed my pinball crown to him
At my favourite table,
He can beat my best
Deciples lead him in
He just does the rest
He's got crazy flipping fingers
I've never seen him fall.
That deaf, dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball
