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
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?
Ain't got no distractions
can't hear no
buzzers and bells
Don't see no lights
a flashin'
plays by sense of smell
Always gets the replay
Never seen him fall
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 on 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!
