Lyrics for Pinball Wizard - Live From "Midsummer Music" At Wembley Stadium / 1975

Ever since I was a young boy, I played the silver ball From Soho down to Brighton, I must have played them all I ain't seen nothing like him in any amusement hall That deaf, dumb and blind kid sure plays a mean pinball Oh, 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 Deaf, dumb and blind kid sure plays a mean pinball He's a pinball wizard, there has to be a twist Pinball wizard's got such a supple wrist How do you think he does it? I don't know What makes him so good Ain't got no distractions, can't hear no buzzes or bells Don't see lights a-flashing, plays by sense of smell Always gets a replay, never seen him fall That deaf, dumb and blind kid sure plays a mean pinball I thought I was the Bally table king But he showed me my will On my favourite table, he can beat my best His disciples lean him in and he just does the rest He's got crazy flipper fingers, I've never seen him fall That deaf, dumb and blind kid sure plays a mean pinball He's a pinball wizard, there has to be a twist Pinball wizard's got such a supple wrist He's a pinball wizard, there has to be a twist Pinball wizard's got such a supple wrist Just like, oh Just like, oh (oh, oh, oh) I thought I was the Bally table king But I just handed my pinball crown to him To him, to him... Yeah-yeah We we're gonna go on after that one you see Except there's a bit short on numbers You ready your favourite number to do on a saturday night is a... You might not like it very well so we need some moral support Thank you once again I mean, amazing for us, it's the start of a new year Thank you very much
