[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
arnold

[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
[verse 6]
