"The Name Game" Lyrics

4.5 / 5
Song updated, review now!
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

Everybody do Tony!
Tony, Tony bo Bony Bonana fanna fo Fony
Fee fy mo Mony, Tony!
Pretty good, let's do Billy!
Billy, Billy bo Billy Bonana fanna fo Filly
Fee fy mo Milly, Billy!
Very good, let's do Marsha!
Marsha, Marsha bo Barsha Bonana fanna fo Farsha
Fee fy mo Marsha, Marsha!
A little trick with Nick!
Nick, Nick bo Bick Bonana fanna fo Fick
Fee fy mo Mick, Nick!
