[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>

How do you think he does it?<br>

[PINBALL WIZARD]<br>
<br>
I don't know!<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>
