pre-chorus
And then I say "Bo" add a "B" then I say the name
And then I say "Bo" add a "B" then I say the name
Then "banana", "fanna" and a "fo"
Then "banana", "fanna" and a "fo"
And then I say the name again with an "F" very plain
And then I say the name again with an "F" very plain
Then the "fee", "fi" and a "mo"
Then the "fee", "fi" and a "mo"
And then I say the name again with an "M" this time
And then I say the name again with an "M" this time
And there isn't any name that I can't rhyme
And there isn't any name that I can't rhyme
verse
But if the first two letters are ever the same
But if the first two letters are ever the same
I drop them both and say the name
I drop them both and say the name
Like Bob, Bob, drop the "B's", Bo-ob
Like Bob, Bob, drop the "B's", Bo-ob
For Fred, Fred, drop the "F's", Fo-red
For Fred, Fred, drop the "F's", Fo-red
For Mary, Mary, drop the "M's", Mo-ary
For Mary, Mary, drop the "M's", Mo-ary
That's the only rule that is contrary
That's the only rule that is contrary
