The Who's, "Pinball WIzard"
Better Lyrics:
Ever since I was a young boy
I played the wooden ball
From state fairs down Chuck E.'s
I must have played them all
But I ain't seen nothing like him
In the arcades at the mall
That deaf, dumb, and blind kid
Sure plays a mean ski-ball
I played the wooden ball
From state fairs down Chuck E.'s
I must have played them all
But I ain't seen nothing like him
In the arcades at the mall
That deaf, dumb, and blind kid
Sure plays a mean ski-ball
Original Lyrics:
Ever since I was young boy
I 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 amusment hall
That deaf, dumb, and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball
I 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 amusment hall
That deaf, dumb, and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball

The Who's, "You Better, You Bet"
Better Lyrics:
I lay on the bed with you
We could make some, put on CDs
Your dog keeps picking my nose
And chewing up those letters that say, "You better!"
We could make some, put on CDs
Your dog keeps picking my nose
And chewing up those letters that say, "You better!"
Original Lyrics:
I lay on the bed with you
We could make some, put on records
Your dog keeps licking my nose
And chewing up those letters that say, "You better!"
We could make some, put on records
Your dog keeps licking my nose
And chewing up those letters that say, "You better!"
