Name Game

Lyricist:Lincoln Chase, Shirley Elliston

The name game

Shirley, Shirley, Shirley bo Birley Bonana fanna fo Firley
Fee fy mo Mirley, Shirley
Lincoln, Lincoln, Lincoln bo Bincoln Bonana fanna fo Fincoln
Fee fy mo Mincoln, Lincoln

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 Bonana fanna and a fo
And then I say the name again with an 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
Arnold, Arnold, Arnold bo Barnold Bonana fanna fo Farnold
Fee fy mo Marnold Arnold

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 Bonana fanna fo, bonana fanna fo
Then you say the name again with an F very plain, 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

Everybody do Tony
Pretty good, let's do Billy
Very good, let's do Marsha
A little trick with Nick, the name game
