Oh come on ev'rybody
I say now let's play a game
I betcha I can make a rhyme
Out of anybody's name
A first letter of the name
I treat it like it wasn't there
I put 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 "fo"
And then I say the name again with an "f" very plain
Then a "fee" and a "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
(Arnold!)
ARNOLD!
Arnold, Arnold bo-bar-nold
Bo-na-na, fanna fo-far-nold
Fee fi m-mar-mold.
Arnold!
Well if the first two letters are ever the same
I crop them both, then say the name
Like Bob, Bob, drop the "B's", Bo-ob
Or Fred, Fred, drop the "F's", Fo-red
Or Mary, Mary, drop the "M's", Mo-ary
Well that's the only rule that is contrary
Now I say "Bo"
Then tone it with a "B"
Then "Bo-na-na fanna" and "fo"
And then you say the name again with an ""f" very plain
Then a "fee fi" and a "mo"
And then you say the name again with an "M" this time
And there isn't any name that I can't rhyme
Tony, Tony, bo-bo-ney
Bo-na-na fanna, fo-fo-ney
Fee fi mo-mo-ney
Tony!
Billy!
Billy, Billy, bo-gil-ly,
Bo-na-na, fanna, fo-fil-ly,
Fee fi mo-mil-ly
Billy!

Marsha, Marsha, bo-bar-sha
Bo-na-na fanna, fo-far-sha
Fee fi mo-ar-sha

Fanna fo fick, fee fi mo-mick.
