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 pin ball ! |
|
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 pin ball ! |
|
He's a pin ball wizard |
|
There has got to be a twist. |
|
A pin ball 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 those buzzers and bells, |
|
Don't see lights a flashin' |
|
Plays by sense of smell. |
|
Always has a replay, |
|
'n' never tilts at all... |
|
That deaf dumb and blind kid |
|
Sure plays a mean pin ball. |
|
I thought I was |
|
The Bally table king. |
|
But I just handed |
|
My pin ball crown to him. |
|
Even my usual 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 kind |
|
Sure plays a mean pin ball |
