I don't generally know the words to many songs - my other half has an almost photgraphic memory for song lyrics, tv sketches etc. I do lots of singing songs that have 'doo doo de doo' where the words should be! lol 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 buzzers and bells Sees no lights a flashing Plays by sense of smell and then I forget the next bit...lol

it continues.. Always gets a replay Never tilts at all That deaf, dumb and blind kid Sure plays a mean pinball ************************************* Pinball Wizard ( 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 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's got to be a twist A pinball wizard He's got such a supple wrist How do you think he does it? (I don't know) What makes him so good? He ain't got no distractions Can't hear those buzzers and bells Don't see lights a flashin' Plays by sense of smell Always gets a replay 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 Even on my usual 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 ******************************************* thanks for the reminder I just love pinball
