As heard on Rush's radio show
Sung to Pinball Wizard by The Who

The lyrics are down below . . .

Ever since he was a young boy, he's pitched a good spin ball
From questions 'bout the draft . . . to how he didn't inhale at all
Never seen one like him - he has no shame at all
That deft, glib Comeback Kid - sure plays a mean spinball !

Caught violating statutes - he blames the GOP
Keeps rhetoric a-pumpin' - 'til he comes out clean
Always flippin', floppin' - can't pin him down at all
That deft, glib Comeback Kid - sure plays a mean spinball !

He's the Spinball Wizard - he's always got a twist
The Spinball Wizard's untouchable and slick

(How do you think he does it? What makes him so good?)

With blue eyes a-flashin' . . . the Soccer Moms all melt
He throws out those distractions - and platitudes as well
Never seen one like him - he's something to behold
That deft, glib Comeback Kid - sure plays a mean spinball !

We thought that Teddy was the "Beat-the-Scandal King"
But Teddy just handed his spinball crown to him

At those press corps briefings - he's really at his best
McCurry leads him in - and he just does the rest
Deflects each pointed question - runs rings around them all
That deft, glib Comeback Kid - sure plays a mean spinball !
