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 |
|
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 by 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 |
