Come on everybody
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 bana fana and fo
Then I say the name again with an F very plain
Then a fee fi and a mo
Then I say the name again with an M this time
And there isn't any name that I can't rhyme

Arno!
Arno arno bo bono
Bana fana fo fono
Fee fi mo mono
Arno!
But if the first two letters are ever the same
Drop them both then say the name
Like Bob, Bob, that's bees bo ob
Or Fred, Fred, drop the F's fo red
Or Mary, Mary, drop the M's mo airy
That's the only rule that is contrary
Okay, now say Bo! (Bo!)
Now Tony with a B (Tony!)
Then bana fana and fo (Bana fana fo)
Then you say the name again with an F very plain (Foney!)
Then a fee fi and a mo (Fee fi mo)
Then you say the name again with an M this time (Money!)
And there isn't any name that you can't rhyme
Everybody do Tony!
Tony Tony bo bony
Bana fana fo fony
Fee fi mo mone
Tony!
Pretty good, let's do Billy!
Billy Billy bo billy
Bana fana fo filly
Fee fi mo milly
Billy!
Very good, let's do Marsha!
Marsha Marsha bo basha
Bana fana fo fasha
Fee fi mo Marsha
Marsha!
A little trick with Nick!
Nick Nick bo bick
Bana fana fo fick
Fee fi mo mick
Nick!
The name game!
