[verse 3]
come on, everybody
i say, let’s play a game
i betcha i could make a rhyme
out of anybody’s name
the first letter of the name
i treat it like it wasn’t there
but a “b” or an “f”
or an “m” will appear
and then i say “bo”, add a “b”, then i say the name
then “bo+na+na fanna” and “fo”
and then i say the name again with an “f” very plain
then a “fee fi” and a “mo”
and then i say the name again with an “m” this time
and there isn’t any name that i can’t rhyme

[verse 4]
arnold
arnold, arnold, bo+bar+nold
bo+na+na fanna fo+far+nold
fee fi mo+mar+nold

[verse 5]
but if the first two letters are ever the same
we drop them both, then say the name
like bob, bob, drop the b’s, bo+ob
or fred, fred, drop the f’s, fo+red
or mary, mary, drop the m’s, mo+ary
that’s the only rule that is contrary
okay, now say “bo” (bo)
now tony with a “b” (bo+ney)
then bo+na+na fanna and fo (bo+na+na fanna and fo)
then you say the name again with an “f” very plain (fo+ney)
then a fee fi and a mo (fee fi mo)
then you say the name again with an “m” this time (mo+ney)
and there isn’t any name that i can’t rhyme
