The Name Game Lyrics

The name game
Shirley! Shirley, Shirley
Bo-ber-ley, bo-na-na fanna
Fo-fer-ley. fee fi mo-mer-ley, Shirley!

Ryan! Ryan, Ryan. bo-by-yan
Bo-na-na fanna, fo-fy-yan
Fee fi mo-my-yan, Ryan!

Come on ev'rybody, 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 "fo"
And then I say the name again with an ""f" very plain
Then "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

Kiesha! Kiesha, Kiesha bo-bee-sha
Bo-na-na, fanna fo-fee-sha
Fee fi m-mee-sha. Kiesha!

But if the first two letters are ever the same
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
That's the only rule that is contrary

Okay, now say "Bo" (Bo!)
Now Tony with a "B" (Bo-ney!)
Then "Bo-na-na fanna fo"
And then you say the name again with an ""f" very plain, (Fo-ney)
Then "fee fi mo" (Fee fi mo!)
And then I say the name again with an "M" this time
And there isn't any name that I can't rhyme

Everybody do Billy!
Billy, Billy, bo-il-ly, bo-na-na
Fanna, fo-fil-ly
Fee fi mo-mil-ly, Billy!

Now do Chandra!
Chandra, Chandra, bo-bon-dra
Bo-na-na fanna, fo-fon-dra
Fee fi mo-mon-dra, Chandra!

Let's do Becca!
Becca, Becca, bo-eck-a
Bo-na-na fanna, fo-feck-a
Fee fi mo-meck-a, Becca!

A little trick with Nicky!
Nicky, Nick, bo-bicky, bo-na-na
Fanna fo ficky, fee fi mo-micky. Nicky!
The name game

Bo-na-na fanna, fo-fu-yan
Fee fi mo-mu-yan, Nuyan!

Let's do Raco!

Bo-na-na fanna, fo-fa-co
Fee fi mo-ma-co, Raco!

Fee fi mo-ma-bee, Abby!

Let's do Rachel!

Fee fi mo-ma-chel, Rachel!
