Who - Pinball wizard

[Luca Canetti]

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 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
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 lights a-flashing
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 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 see him fall...
That deaf, dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball!.
