{repeat verse} 
He stands just 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.

He ain't got no distractions 
Can't hear no buzzers and bells 
Don't see lights a-flashin' 
Plays be sense of smell 
Always gets a replay 
I've never seen him fall 
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 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 kid sure plays a mean pin 
ball.........
