Name Game

Lyrics

[Intro] 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 a "Fo" And then I say the name again, with an 'F', very plain Then a "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 [Verse 1] Okay, let's do Tony! Tony, Tony, bo-bony Bo-na-na fanna, fofony Fee fi mo-mony Tony [Verse 2] That was good, let's try Katie! Katie, Katie, bo-batie Bo-na-na fanna, fofatie Fee fi mo-matie Katie [Refrain] 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 for Bob Or Hugh, Hugh, drop the 'H', go "Ooh" Mary, Mary, drop the 'M', Mo-Mary That's the only rule that is contrary [Bridge] Okay everybody, now say Bo (Bo) Now Tony with a B (Bony) Now bo-na-na fanna, fo (Bo-na-na fanna, fo) Then you say the name again with an 'F', very plain (Fony) Then a fee fi and a mo (Fee fi and a mo) Then you say the name again with an 'M' this time (Mony) And there isn't any name that I can't rhyme [Verse 3] Let's do Doug!
