Name Game

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, then "Banana-Fanna" and a "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

OK, let's do Tony!

Tony, Tony, Bo-Bony, Banana-Fanna, Fo-Fony

Fee-Fi-Mo, Mony, Tony

That was good, let's try Katie!

Katie, Katie, Bo-Batie, Banana-Fanna, Fo-Fatie

Fee-Fi-Mo, Matie, Katie

But if the first two letters are ever the same

You drop them both, then say the name

Like Bob, Bob, drop the 'B's', Bo-Bob

Or Hugh, Hugh, drop the 'H', go "Ooh"

Mary, Mary, drop the 'M', Mo-Mary

That's the only rule that is contrary

OK everybody, now say Bo (Bo!)

Now Tony with a B (Bony!)

Now Banana-Fanna-Fo (Banana-Fanna-Fo!)

Then you say the name again with an 'F' very plain (Fony!)

Then a Fee-Fi and a Mo (Fee-Fi and Mo!)

Then you say the name again with an 'M' this time (Mony!)

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

Let's do Doug!

Doug, Doug, Bo-Boug, Banana-Fanna, Fo-Foug

Fee-Fi-Mo, Moug, Doug

Now you got it! Joanie!

Joanie, Joanie, Bo-Boanie, Banana-Fanna, Fo-Foanie

Fee-Fi-Mo, Moanie, Joanie

A little trick with Rick!

Rick, Rick, Bo-Bick, Banana-Fanna, Fo-Fick

Fee-Fi-Mo, Mick

But if the first two letters are ever the same

You drop them both, then say the name

Like Bob, Bob, drop the 'B's', Bo-Bob

Or Hugh, Hugh, drop the 'H', go "Ooh"

Mary, Mary, drop the 'M', Mo-Mary

That's the only rule that is contrary

OK everybody, let's try David!

David, David, Bo-Bavid, Banana-Fanna, Fo-Favid

Fee-Fi-Mo, Mavid, David

That was great, try Larry!

Larry, Larry, Bo-Barry, Banana-Fanna, Fo-Farry
