The Name Game |
Shirley Shirley bo burley |
Banana fana for firley |
Fe fi for firley |
Shirley! |
Lincoln Lincoln bo bincoln |
Banana fana for fincoln |
Fe fi for fincoln |
Lincoln! |
C’mon everybody, yeah! |
I said let’s play a game |
I betcha I can make a rhyme |
Out of anybody’s name |
The first letter of the name |
I’ll treat it like it wasn’t there |
But if a «B» or an «F» ever will appear |
Then I say a for and a fi and I say the name |
Banana fano and for |
And then I say the name again |
And I say the name again |
With an «M» this time |
There isn’t a name |
That I can’t rhyme |
Arnold Arnold bo barnold |
Banana fano for farnold |
Fe fi mo marnold |
Arnold! |
But if the first two letters |
Are ever the same |
Drop them both |
And say the name |
Like Bob, Bob drop the «B» spells ob |
Or Fran, Fran drop the «F» spells ran |
Or Mary, Mary drop the «M» spells ary |
That’s the only rule that is contrary |
Now let’s say Divi, Divi! |
Now Divi with a «B», Bivi! |
Then banana fana for, banana fana for! |
Then you say the name again with an «F», very plain, Fivi! |
Fe fi then mo, and fe fi then mo |
Then you say the name again with an «M» this time, Mivi! |
And there isn’t any name that I can’t rhyme |
Now do Divi! |
Divi Divi bo bivi |
Banana fana for fivi |
Fe fi mo mivi |
Divi! |
Let’s do Marsha |
Marsha Marsha bo barsha |
Banana fana for farsha |
Fe fi mo marsha |
Marsha! |
A little trick with dick |
Dick Dick bo bick |
Banana fana for fick |
Fe fi mo mick |
Dick! |
