The Name Game

The Name Game
The name game. Shirley! Shirley, Shirley
Bo-ber-ley, bo-na-na fanna
Fo-fer-ley. fee fi mo-mer-ley, Shirley!

Lincoln! Lincoln, Lincoln. bo-bin-coln
Bo-na-na fanna, fo-fin-coln
Fee fi mo-min-coln, Lincoln!

Come on ev'rybody, 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 \"Bo-na-na fanna\" and \"fo\"
And then I say the name again with an \"\"f\" very plain
Then \"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-bar-nold
Bo-na-na, fanna fo-far-nold
Fee fi m-mar-mold. Arnold!

But if the first two letters are ever the same
Crop 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

And then I say \"Bo\" add a \"B\" then I say the name
Then \"Bo-na-na fanna\" and \"fo\"
And then I say the name again with an \"\"f\" very plain
Then \"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

Say Tony, Tony, bo-bo-ney
Bo-na-na fanna, fo-fo-ney
Fee fi mo-mo-ney, Tony!

Let's do Billy!
Billy, Billy, bo-gil-ly, bo-na-na
Fanna, fo-fil-ly,
Fee fi mo-mil-ly, Billy!

Let's do Marsha!
Marsha, Marsha, bo-bar-sha
Bo-na-na fanna, fo-far-sha
Fee fi mo-ar-sha, Marsha!

Little trick with Nick!
Nick, Nick, bo-bick, bo-na-na
Fanna fo fick, fee fi mo-mick. Nick!
