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 "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 I drop 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 Okay? Now say Bo Now Tony with a B Then "Bo-na-na fanna" and "fo" And then you say the name again with an "F" very plain Then "fee fi" and a "mo" And then you say the name again with an "M" this time And there isn't any name that I can't rhyme Everybody do Tony Tony, Tony, bo-bo-ney Bo-na-na fanna, fo-fo-ney Fee-fi-mo-mo-ney Tony!
