The name game!
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! (Rhyme.)Pretty good, let's do Billy!(Rhyme.)
Very good, let's do Marsha! (Ryhme.)A little trick with Nick!(Rhyme.)
The name game...(Fade.)
A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
