| People don’t pay to see Reginald Dwight |
| They pay to see Elton John |
| 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 |
| He’s a pinball wizard, there has to be a twist |
| A pinball wizard’s got such a supple wrist |
| (How do you think he does it?) I don’t know |
| (What makes him so good?) |
| 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, he scores a trillion more |
| A pinball wizard, the world’s new pinball lord |
| He’s scoring more, he’s scoring more |
