| I betcha I can make a rhyme out of anybody's name | |

| 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! | |

| 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 | |
