[Verse 1]
Ever since I was a young boy I played the silver ball
From Soho down to Brighton I must've played them all
But I ain't seen nothin' like him in any amusement hall
That deaf, dumb, and blind kid sure plays a mean pinball

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
He's a pinball wizard, there has to be a twist
A pinball wizard's got such a supple wrist

[Post-Chorus]
(How do you think he does it?) I don't know
(What makes him so good?)

[Verse 3]
Well, he ain't got no distractions, can't hear no buzzes and bells
Don't see lights a-flashin', 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
[Chorus]
He can't beat me now, I've always been the champ
I know every trick, no freak's gonna beat my hand

[Bridge]
(Oh, can't explain)
(Oh, can't explain)
(Oh, can't explain)
(Oh, can't explain)

[Verse 4]
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

[Chorus]
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 scores a trillion more
A pinball wizard, the world's new pinball lord
He's scoring more, he's scoring more

[Guitar Solo]

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