The Who's Tommy (Original Broadway Cast Recording)
Pinball Wizard
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 nothing 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's got no distractions
Can't hear those buzzers and bells
Don't see no lights a flashin'
He plays by sense of smell
Always gets a replay
And 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
How do you think he does it? I don't know!
What makes him so good?
Even at my favorite table
He can beat my best
The kids all 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
Even at my favorite table
He can beat my best
The kids all 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
I've played the silver ball
From Soho down to Brighton
I must have played them all
But I ain't seen nothing 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's got no distractions
Can't hear those buzzers and bells
Don't see no lights a flashin'
He plays by sense of smell
Always gets a replay
And 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
How do you think he does it? I don't know!
What makes him so good?
Even at my favorite table
He can beat my best
The kids all 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
Even at my favorite table
He can beat my best
The kids all 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
