Name Game — Laura Branigan

Common everybody

I say now lets now 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

then I say

Bo - add a 'b' and then I say the name banana fanna and foe and then I say the name again with an 'f' very plain then a fee fie and moe and then I say the name again with an 'm' this time and there isn't any name that I can't rhyme

but if the first two letters are ever the same, I drop them both then say the name

like bob, bob drop the 'b' bo ob

or fred fred drop the 'f' Foe red

or Mary, Mary, drop the 'm's Moe Ary That's the only rule that is contrary

O.K.

now say Bo Bo! now tony with a B Bony! then Banna Fanna and Foe Banna Fanna and Foe! then you say the name again with an f very plain Fony! then a fee fie and a mo Fee, Fie, Moe! then you same the name again with an m this time Mony!

and there isn't any name you can't rhyme

everybody do Tony!

Tony, Tony Bo, Bony Banana, Fanna, Foe. Fony Fee, Fie, Moe, Mony Tony

pretty good, let's do Billy,

Billy, Billy Bo, illy Banana, Fanna, Foe. Filly Fee, Fie, Moe, Milly Billy
