Taj Mahal - The Name Game lyrics

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! The name game.
