Lyrics:

“The Name Game” is an American pop song written and performed by Shirley Ellis as a rhyming game that creates variations on a person’s name.
The name game

Shirley
Shirley, Shirley, bo-birley
Bo-na-na fanna fo-firley
Fee fi mo-mirley
Shirley

Lincoln
Lincoln, Lincoln. bo-bincoln
Bo-na-na fanna fo-fincoln
Fee fi mo-mincoln
Lincoln

Come on, everybody
I say, now, let's play a game
I betcha I could 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 that name again with an 'F', very plain
Then a '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-barnold
Bo-na-na fanna fo-farnold
Fee fi mo-marnold
Arnold

But if the first two letters are ever the same
I drop them both, then say the name
Like Bob, Bob, drop the B's for Ob
Or Fred, Fred, drop the F's for Red
Or Mary, Mary, drop the M's for Ary
That's the only rule that is contrary

Okay, now say 'bo' (Bo)
Now Tony with a 'B' (Bony)
Then bo-na-na fanna and fo (Bo-na-na fanna fo)
Then you say the name again with an 'F' very plain (Fony)
Then a fee fi and a mo (Fee fi mo)
Then you say the name again with an 'M' this time (Mony)
And there isn't any name that you can't rhyme

Everybody do Tony
Tony, Tony, bo-bony
Bo-na-na fanna fofony
Fee fi mo-mony
Tony

Pretty good, let's do Billy
Billy, Billy, bo-illy
Bo-na-na fanna fo-filly
Fee fi mo-milly
Billy

Very good, now let's do Marsha
Marsha, Marsha, bo-barsha
Bo-na-na fanna fo-farsha
Fee fi mo-arsha
Marsha

A little trick with Nick
Nick, Nick, bo-bick
Bo-na-na fanna fo-fick
Fee fi mo-mick
Nick

The name game
