Over deze songtekst:

'The Name Game' wordt ook wel 'The Banana Song' genoemd. Het is een cover van Shirley Ellis.

Come on everybody, I say now let's play a game
I bet you 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 "Bonana Fanna" and "Foe"
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

Okay. Let's do Tony!
Tony, Tony Bo-Bony Bonana Fanna Fo-Fony Fee-Fi-Mo Mony
Tony
Now was good. Let's try Katie!
Katie Katie Bo-Batie Bonana Fanna Fo-Fatie Fee-Fi- Mo Matie
Katie

But if the first two letters are ever the same
You drop them both then say the name
Like Bob, Bob drop the 'B' Bo-Ob
Or Hugh, Hugh drop the 'H' go "Ugh"
Mary, Mary, drop the 'M's Mo-Ary
That's the only rule that is contrary

Okay, everybody
Now say Bo, Bo!
Now Tony with a B, Bony!
Now Bonana Fanna Fo, Bonana Fanna Fo!
Then you say the name again with an 'F' very plain, Fony!
Then a Fee Fi and a Mo Fee-Fi and Mo!
Then you say the name with an 'M' this time, Mony!

There isn't any name that I can't rhyme

Let's do Doug!

Rick, Rick Bo-Bick Bonana Fanna Fo-Fick Fee-Fi-Mo Mick

But if the first two letters are ever the same
You drop them both then say the name
Like Bob, Bob drop the 'B' Bo-Ob
Or Hugh, Hugh drop the 'H' go "Ugh"
Mary, Mary, drop the 'M's Mo-Ary
That's the only rule that is contrary

Okay, everybody
