The Name Game

In the style of

Shirley Ellis

Lyrics

the name game

shirley
shirley shirley
bo birley
bonana fanna
fo firley
fe fi mo mirley
shirley

lincoln
lincoln lincoln
bo bincoln
bonana fanna
fo fincoln
fe fi mo mincoln
lincoln

come on everybody
i say now
let's play a game
i betcha
i could make a rhyme
out of anybody's name

the first letter
of a 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 bonana fanna
and fo

then i
say the name again
with an "f"
then a fe 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

arnold
arnold arnold
bo barnold
bonana fanna
fo farnold
fe fi mo marnold
arnold

but if the first
two letters
are ever the same
drop them both
then say the name

like bob bob
drop the "b" is bo ob
or fred fred
drop the "f" is fo red
or mary mary
drop the "m" is mo ary
that's the only rule
that is contrary

ok now say bo
now tony with a "b"
then bonana fanna
and fo

then you
say the name again
with an "f"
very plain
then a fe fi and a mo
then you
say the name again
with an "m" this time

and there isn't
any name
that you can't rhyme
everybody do tony

tony tony bo bony
bonana fanna
fo fony
fe fi mo mony
tony
pretty good
let's do billy

billy billy bo illy
bonana fanna
fo filly
fe fi mo milly
billy
very good
now let's do marsha

marsha marsha
bo barsha
bonana fanna
fo farsha
fe fi mo arsha
marsha
a little trick with nick

nick nick bo bick
bonana fanna
