Ever since I was a young boy I 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
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 buzzes and bells
Don´t see lights a-flashing, he plays by sense of smell
Always has a replay, never tilts at all
That deaf, dumb and blind kid sure plays a mean pinball

He can´t beat me now I´ve always been the champ
I know every trick, no freak´s gonna beat my hand

Even on my usual table, he can beat the best
His disciples lead him in and he just does the rest
He´s got crazy flipper fingers, I´ve never seen him 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

He´s a pinball wizard, he´s scored a trillion more
A pinball wizard, the world´s new pinball lord
He´s scoring more, he´s scoring more

I thought I was the Bally table king
But I just handed my pinball crown to him, to him, to him
