Pinball Wizard Songtext
von Roger Daltrey

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 amusement hall
That deaf dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pin ball!

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 pin ball!


He′s a pin ball wizard
There has got to be a twist
A pin ball 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 those buzzers and bells
Don't see lights a flashin′
Plays by sense of smell

Always has a replay
'N′ never tilts at all
That deaf dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pin ball

I thought I was
The Bally table king
But I just handed
My pin ball crown to him

Even on 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 kind
Sure plays a mean pin ball!
