Ever since I was a young boy
I played the silver ball;
From Soho down to Brighton
I must have played 'em all
But I ain't seen nothin' like him
In any amusement hall
That deaf, dumb an' blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball

He stands like a statue
Becomes part of the machine
Feelin' all the bumpers
Always playin' clean
Plays by intuition
The digit counters fall
That deaf, dumb an' blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball!

He's a pinball wizard
There has to be a twist
A pinball wizard
Got such a supple wrist

How do you think he does it?
What makes him so good?
Ain't got no distractions
Can't hear those buzzes and bells
Don't see lights aflashin'
Plays by sense of smell
Always gets a replay
Never tilts at all
That deaf, dumb an' blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball

Even my usual 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
