Lyrics

[Intro]
People don't pay to see Reginald Dwight
They pay to see Elton John!
[Verse 1]
Ever since I was a young boy, I played the silver ball
From Soho down to Brighton, I must've played them all
But I ain't seen nothin' like him in any amusement hall
That deaf, dumb, and blind kid sure plays a mean pinball
[Chorus]
He's a pinball wizard, there has to be a twist
A pinball wizard's got such a supple wrist
[Verse 2]
(How do you think he does it?)
I don't know
(What makes him so good?)
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
He's a pinball wizard, he scores a trillion more
A pinball wizard, the world's new pinball lord
He's scoring more, he's scoring more
