Ever since I was a young boy

I've played the silver ball

From Soho down to Brighton

I must've played them all But I never seen anything 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 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'

Plays by sense of smell Always has a replay

An' never tilts at all

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 at my favorite 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
