[Verse 1]
Ever since I w
as a young boy
, I've played
the silver bal
l
From Soho down
to Brighton,
I must have pl
ayed them all
But I ain't se
en nothing lik
e him, in any
amusement hall
That deaf, dum
b and blind ki
d, sure plays
[ ]
a mean pinball
[Instrumental]
| | | | |
[Verse 2]
He stands like
a statue, bec
omes part of t
he machine
Feeling all th
e bumpers, alw
ays playing cl
ean
Plays by intui
tion, the digi
t counters fal
l
That deaf, dum
b and blind ki
d, sure plays
[ ]
a mean pinball
[Instrumental]
| | | | |
[Chorus 1]
He's a pinball
wizard
There has to b
#
e a twist
A pinball wiza
rd's got such
| | |
a supple wrist
[Middle 8]
How do you thi
[ ]
nk he doe
s it? (I don't
[ ]
know)
What makes him
[ ]
so goo
d?
[Verse 3]
Ain't got no d
istractions, c
an't hear no b
uzzers and bel
ls
Don't see no l
ights a flashi
n', plays by s
ense of smell
Always gets a
replay, never
seen him fall
That deaf, dum
b and blind ki
d, sure plays
[ ]
a mean pinball
[Instrumental]
| | | | |
[Chorus 2]
I thought I w
as
The Bally tabl
e king
But I just han
ded my pinball
| | |
crown to him
[Interlude] key change
| | | | |
| | | | |
[Verse 4]
Even on my fav
ourite table,
he can beat my
best
His disciples
lead him in, a
nd he just doe
s the rest
He's got crazy
flipper finge
rs, never seen
him fall
That deaf, dum
b and blind ki
d, sure plays
[ ]
a mean pinball
