Shirley Ellis - The Name Game lyrics

Your rating:
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

 Every body do Tony!
 Pretty good, let's do Billy!
 Very good, let's do Marsha!
 A little trick with Nick!
 The name game
