[Originally performed by The Who]

Ever since I was a young boy

I've 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 amu!@&(t 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

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
He's got such a supple wrist


How do you think he does it?
(I don't know)

What makes him so good?

Ain't got no distractions

Can't hear no buzzers and bells
See no lights a flashin'
Plays by sense of smell

Always gets a replay
Never seen him fall
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 on my favourite 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
