|
| 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!
