The Name Game Lyrics - Shakin' A Tailfeather - Taj Mahal

The name game. Shirley! Shirley, Shirley. 

Bo-ber-ley, bo-na-na fanna. 

Fo-fer-ley. fee fi mo-mer-ley, Shirley! 

Lincoln! Lincoln, Lincoln. bo-bin-coln, 

Bo-na-na fanna, fo-fin-coln. 

Fee fi mo-min-coln, Lincoln! 

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.

Arnold! Arnold, Arnold bo-bar-nold, 

Bo-na-na, fanna fo-far-nold, 

Fee fi m-mar-mold. Arnold! 

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. 

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. 

Say Tony, Tony, bo-bo-ney, 

Bo-na-na fanna, fo-fo-ney, 

Fee fi mo-mo-ney, Tony!
