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
And banana fana and a fo
And then I say the name again
With and f very plain
And a fee fy 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
Pepper!
Pepper, pepper, bo bepper, banana fana
Fo fepper, fee fy, mo mepper
Pepper
But if the first two letters are ever the same
I drop them both and say the name, like
Bob! Bob, drop the b's, bo ob
For fred, fred, drop the f's, fo red
For mary, mary, drop the m's, mo ary
That's the only rule that is contrary
Okay?
Now say bo! (bo!)
Now tony with a b! (bony!)
Then banana fana fo! (banana fana fo!)
Then you say the name again with an f very play (fony!)
Then a fee, fy and a mo (fee fy mo!)
Then you say the name again with an m this time! (mony!)
And there isn't any name that you can't rhyme
Kit, kit, bo bit, banana fana, fo fit, fee fy, mo mit
Kit!
