Come on everybody

I say now, 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 and then

And then I say the name

Then B-na-na fan-na 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

Arnold

Arnold, Arnold, Bo-barnold

Bo-na-na, fan-na, fo-farnold

Fee-fi, mo-marnold, Arnold

But if the first two letters are ever the same

I 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

(Bony)

Then ba-na-na, fan-na and fo

(Bo-na-na, fan-na, fo)

Then you say the name again

With an F, very plain

Then fee,  fi and a mo

(Fee fi mo)

Then you say the name again

With an M this time

And there isn't any name

That you can't rhyme
