Lyrics
(Shirley elliston/lincoln chase )
Come on everybody I say now lets 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 "bonana fanna" and "foe"
And then I say the name again with an 'f' very plain
Then a "fee fi" and "mo"
And then I say the name again with an 'm' this time
And there isn't any name that I can't rhyme
O.k. let's do tony!
Tony, tony bo-bony bonana fanna fo-fony fee-fi-mo mony
Tony
Now was good let's try katie!
Katie katie bo-batie bonana fanna fo-fatie fee-fi- mo matie
Katie
But if the first two letters are ever the same
You drop them both then say the name
Like bob, bob drop the 'b' bo-ob
Or hugh hugh drop the 'h' go "oooo"
Mary, mary, drop the 'm's mo-ary
That's the only rule that is contrary
O.k. everybody
Now say bo, bo!
Now tony with a b, bony!
Now bonana fanna fo, bonana fanna fo!
Then you say the name again with an 'f' very plain, fony!
Then a fee fi and a mo fee-fi and mo!
Then you say the name with an 'm' this time, mony!
There isn't any name that I can't rhyme
Let's do doug!
Doug, doug bo-boug bonana fanna fo-foug fee-fi-mo moug
Doug
Now you got it, joanie!
Joanie, joanie bo-bonie bonana fanna fo-fonie fee-fi-mo monie

Rick, rick bo-bick bonana fanna fo-fick fee-fi-mo mick
But if the first two letters are ever the same
You drop them both then say the name
Like bob, bob drop the 'b' bo-ob
Or hugh hugh drop the 'h' go "oooo"
Mary, mary, drop the 'm's mo-ary
That's the only rule that is contrary
O.k. everybody
