[THE PINBALL WIZARD]<br>

<br>

Ever since I was a young boy,<br>

I've played the silver ball.<br>

From SoHo down to Brighton,<br>

I must have played them all.<br>

But I ain't seen nothin' like him<br>

In any amusement hall.<br>

That deaf, dumb and blind kid<br>

Sure plays a mean pinball.<br>

He stands like a statue,<br>

Becomes part of the machine.<br>

Feelin' all the bumpers,<br>

Always playin' clean.<br>

He plays by intuition.<br>

The digit counters fall.<br>

That deaf, dumb and blind kid<br>

Sure plays a mean pinball.<br>

He's a pinball wizard,<br>

There has to be a twist.<br>

A pinball wizard,<br>

Got such a supple wrist!<br>

<br>

[REPORTER]<br>

<br>

How do you think he does it?<br>

<br>

[PINBALL WIZARD]<br>

<br>

I don't know!<br>

<br>

[REPORTER]<br>

<br>

What makes him so good?<br>

<br>

[PINBALL WIZARD]<br>

<br>

Well, he ain't got no distractions,<br>

Can't hear no buzzers and bells.<br>

Don't see lights a-flashing,<br>

He plays by sense of smell.<br>

Always has a replay,<br>

Never tilts at all,<br>

That deaf, dumb and blind kid<br>

Sure plays a mean pinball.<br>

He can't beat me now,<br>

I've always been the champ!<br>

I know it's a trick!<br>

No freak's gonna beat my hand!<br>

He can beat my favorite table,<br>

He can beat the best.<br>

His disciples lead him in,<br>

And he just does the rest.<br>

He's got crazy flipper fingers,<br>

I've never seen them fall.<br>

That deaf, dumb and blind kid<br>

Sure plays a mean pinball.<br>

He's a pinball wizard<br>

There has to be a twist.<br>

A pinball wizard,<br>

Got such a supple wrist!<br>

He's a pinball wizard<br>

His score shoots even more!<br>

A pinball wizard,<br>

The world's new pinball lord!<br>

He's scoring more!<br>

He's scoring more!<br>

I thought I was the Bally table king,<br>

But I just handed my pinball crown to him.<br>

To him! To him!<br>

<br>
