THE NAME GAME

 

The name game

Shirley

Shirley Shirley bo Birley Bonana fanna fo Firley

Fee fy mo Mirley Shirley

Lincoln

Lincoln Lincoln bo Bincoln Bonana fanna fo Fincoln

Fee fy mo Mincoln Lincoln

 

Come on everybody I say now let's play a game

I betcha I can 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

And Bonana fanna and a fo

And then I say the name again with an F very plain

And a fee fy 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

 

Arnold

Arnold Arnold bo Barnold Bonana fanna fo Farnold

Fee fy mo Marnold Arnold

 

But if the first two letters are ever the same

I drop them both and say the name

Like Bob Bob drop the B's Bo ob

For Fred Fred drop the F's Fo red

For 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 Bony

Then Bonana fanna fo bonana fanna fo

Then you say the name again with an F very plain Fony

Then a fee fy and a mo fee fy mo

Then you say the name again with an M this time Mony

And there isn't any name that you can't rhyme

The name game
