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 "Banana Fanna" and a "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
Okay, let's do Tony!
Tony, Tony, Bo-Bony
Banana Fanna, Fo-Fony, Fee-Fi-Mo, Mony
Tony
That was good, let's try Katie!
Katie, Katie, Bo-Batie
Banana 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's', Bo-Bob
Or Hugh, Hugh
Drop the 'H', go "Ooh"
Mary, Mary
Drop the 'M', Mo-Mary
That's the only rule that is contrary
Okay, everybody
Now say Bo (Bo!)
Now Tony with a B (Bony!)
Now Banana Fanna Fo (Banana 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 again, with an 'M' this time (Mony!)
And there isn't any name that I can't rhyme
Let's do Doug!
Doug, Doug, Bo-Boug
Banana Fanna Fo-Foug, Fee-Fi-Mo, Moug
Doug
Now you got it, Joanie!
Joanie, Joanie, Bo-Boanie
Banana Fanna Fo-Foanie, Fee-Fi-Mo, Moanie

A little trick with Rick!
Rick, Rick, Bo-Bick
Banana 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's', Bo-Bob
Or Hugh, Hugh
Drop the 'H', go "Ooh"
Mary, Mary
Drop the 'M', Mo-Mary
That's the only rule that is contrary
