Plays by intuition
Never seen him fall
But I ain't seen nothing like him
Sure plays a mean pinball
The Bally table king
Songwriter: Peter Townshend
His disciples lead him in
Sure plays a mean pinball
Ain't got no distractions
That deaf, dumb and blind kid
Can't hear no buzzers and bells
I must have played them all
He's got crazy flipper fingers
He's a pinball wizard
Sure plays a mean pinball
He's got such a supple wrist

My pinball crown to him
What makes him so good?
Always gets a replay
And he just does the rest
I've played the silver ball
How do you think he does it?
Ever since I was a young boy
He can beat my best
Even on my favorite table
From Soho down to Brighton
Plays by sense of smell
Always playing clean
There has to be a twist
(I don't know)
But I just handed
Sure plays a mean pinball
The digit counters fall
That deaf, dumb and blind kid
In any amusement hall
That deaf dumb and blind kid
That deaf, dumb and blind kid
He stands like a statue
Feeling all the bumpers
Don't see no lights are flashin'
A pinball wizard
Never seen him fall
Becomes part of the machine
I thought I was
