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
|
|
Every body do Tony!
|

|
