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
