Pinball Wizard
Glee Cast Lyrics

Ever since I was a young boy, I've played the silver ball
I have been a pinball player since childhood

From Soho down to Brighton, I must have played them all
I have played pinball in many different locations

But I ain't seen nothing like him in any amusement hall...
I have not encountered anyone like the player in question before

That deaf dumb and blind kid sure plays a mean pinball!
The player in question is very skilled at pinball despite their impairments

He stands like a statue, becomes part of the machine
The player is so focused on the game that they blend in with the pinball machine

Feeling all the bumpers always playing clean
The player is very accurate and precise in their shots

He plays by intuition, the digit counters fall
The player doesn't need to think much about their moves because they just come naturally

That deaf dumb and blind kid sure plays a mean pin ball!
The player is very skilled at pinball despite their impairments

He's a pin ball wizard, there has to be a twist
The player's skills are so impressive that there must be something unique about their approach

A pin ball wizard, got such a supple wrist
The player is able to manipulate the flippers with ease

(How do you think he does it?)
Others are curious about the player's impressive pinball skills

I don't know!
Nobody knows for sure how the player is able to play so well

(What makes him so good?)
Others are curious about the player's impressive pinball skills

Well, he ain't got no distractions, can't hear those buzzers and bells
The player's impairments actually help them focus on the game and block out distractions

Don't see lights a flashin', he plays by sense of smell
The player is able to anticipate the movement of the ball due to their heightened sense of touch and other senses

Always has a replay, and never tilts at all...
The player is consistent in their gameplay and rarely makes mistakes that would cause them to lose points

That deaf dumb and blind kid sure plays a mean pin ball!
The player is very skilled at pinball despite their impairments

He can't beat me now
The singer believes they are a better pinball player than the player in question

I've always been the champ
The singer is very confident in their own pinball skills

I know every trick
The artist is very experienced and knowledgeable about pinball

No freak's gonna beat my hand
The artist believes that they are unbeatable when it comes to pinball

Even on my usual table, he can beat the best
The player in question is so skilled that they can beat even the most experienced players on their home turf

His disciples lead him in, and he just does the rest
Others are in awe of the player's skills and will follow them around to watch them play

He's got crazy flipper fingers, I never seen him fall
The player is incredibly fast and accurate with their shots, and rarely makes mistakes

That deaf, dumb, blind kid sure plays a mean pinball
The player is very skilled at pinball despite their impairments

He's a pinball wizard, there has to be a twist
The player's skills are so impressive that there must be something unique about their approach

A pinball wizard, got such a supple wrist
The player is able to manipulate the flippers with ease

He's a pinball wizard, his score's a trillion more
The player has an incredibly high score, far surpassing anyone else's

A pinball wizard, the world's new pinball lord
The player is now seen as the best pinball player in the world

He's scoring more!
The player is continuing to rack up points and improve their score

I thought I was the Bally table king
The singer used to believe that they were the best pinball player

But I just handed my pinball crown to him
The player in question has now taken the title of best pinball player from the artist

To him!
The player in question has earned the respect and admiration of everyone around them
