[Verse 2] 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 [Verse 3] Arnold! Arnold, Arnold bo-bar-nold Bo-na-na, fanna fo-far-nold Fee fi m-mar-mold. Arnold!
