Pinball Wizard Lyrics
Artist(Band):The Who
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.
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 pin ball 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 buzz and bells,
Don't see no lights a flashin'
Plays by sense of smell.
Always gets the 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 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 pinball!

Review about Pinball Wizard
Great! | Reviewer: The Wizard | 8/28/2008The song reminds me of when I was a young kid at the arcade.It was either pinball,centipede,or pac-man.ole school baby!
The lyrics are delivered in a theatrical way which makes a simple song great.
The music will stick in your mind if you know how to listen to the tone(mood).To put it in lay terms.The Who Rocks!
A reinterpetation | Reviewer: mojohand | 12/10/2007
I just watched Joziah Longo of Gandalf Murphy and the Slambovian Circus of Dreams sing the first verse of this song, and it was just wonderful. Get the riff from Johnny Cash's "Folsom Prison Blues" going in your head. Then sing "Pinball Wizard."
"Ever since I was a young boy..."
love this song | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/30/2007
Great song, but I'm afraid the lyrics are
"left digit counts his ball"
not
"the digit counters fall"
This is a common misconception, apparently.
Most pinball machines give the player a certain number of balls to start with (three is a common number), so that if the player's first pinball is lost between the flippers, they have more chances to keep playing.
In addition, machines award extra balls from time to time, like extra guys in a video game. Extra balls are usually given as a reward for skill (e.g. they may be handed out every 10,000 points).
Thus "left digit counts his ball" indicates that Tommy is so good, he has been awarded as many extra pinballs as the machine can keep track of.

Great song indeed | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/14/2007
I just love this piece of music. The Who is one of the best bands ever and Pinball Wizard is one of thei best, too. It is all about finding yourself like this deaf ad blind Tommy does when he is playing pinball. Damn, I'd like to see The Who's movvie "Tommy".
yeah | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/11/2007
yeah it is definitively HALL because it rhymes with BALL and ALL, etc. but great song, great band.
lyrics are perfect | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/18/2007
To the person before me who wrote that it is "amusement park", it is indeed " amusement hall."
The Who's Pinball Wizard | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/5/2007
