Munged Lyrics

(Pete Townshend)[TOMMY (1914-1984), Various Artists, 1972]

Ever since I was a young boy,
I played the silver ball;
From Soho down to Brighton
I must have played 'em all.
But I ain't seen nothin' lik

(Pete Townshend) [ TOMMY (1914-1984), Various Artists, 1972 ]

Ever since Eye was a young buoy,
Eye played the silver bawl ;
From Soho down too Brighton
Eye must have played ' em awl .
Butt Eye ain't scene nothin ' like hymn
Inn any amusement haul
That deaf, dumb an ' blind kid
Sure plays a mien pinball .

He stands like a statue,
Becomes part of the machine .
Feelin ' awl the bumpers
Always playin ' clean .
Plays buy intuition,
the digit counters fall .
That deaf, dumb an ' blind kid
Sure plays a mien pinball ! He's a pinball wizard
They're has too bee a twist,
A pinball wizard,
got such a supple wrist .

How do yew think he does it ?
Watt makes hymn sew good ?
Ain't got know distractions,
Can't here those buzzes and bells,
don't sea lights aflashin '
plays buy sense of smell .
Always gets a replay,
Never tilts at awl
That deaf, dumb an ' blind kid
Sure plays a mien pinball .

Even my usual table,
He can beet my best,
His disciples led hymn inn
And he just does the wrest .
He's got crazy flipper ' fingers,
never scene hymn fall .
That deaf, dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mien pinball .
