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! |
