Pinball Wizard Lyrics By The Who

    roger daltrey
    ever since i was a young boy i’ve played the silver ball
    from soho down to brighton i must’ve played ’em all
    but i ain’t seen nothin’ like him in any amusement hall
    that deaf dumb and blind kid sure plays a mean pinball

    roger daltrey
    he stands like a statue becomes part of the machine
    feelin’ all the bumpers always playin’ clean
    plays by intuition the digit counters fall
    that deaf dumb and blind kid sure plays a mean pinball

    pete townshend roger daltrey
    he’s a pinball wizard there has to be a twist
    a pinball wizard’s got such a supple wrist

    post pete townshend roger daltrey
    how do you think he does it i don’t know
    what makes him so good

    roger daltrey
    ain’t got no distractions can’t hear no buzzes and bells
    don’t see no lights aflashin’ plays by sense of smell
    always gets the replay never seen him fall
    that deaf dumb and blind kid sure plays a mean pinball

    roger daltrey pete townshend
    i thought i was the bally table king
    but i just handed my pinball crown to him

    4 roger daltrey
    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 pinball
