Name Game - Laura Branigan

Come on everybody

I say now let's play a game

I bet you I can make a rhyme

out of anybody's name

The first letter of the name

I treat you 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 'Bonana Fanna' and a 'Fo'

And then I say the 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

OK Let's do Tony!

Tony, Tony

Bo-Bony, Bonana

Fanna Fo-Fony

Fee Fi

Mo-Mony

Tony!

Now was good, Let's try Katie!

Katie Katie

Bo-Batie, Bonana

Fanna Fo-Fatie

Fee Fi

Mo-Matie

Katie!

But if the first two letters are ever the same
You drop them both then say the name

Like Bob, Bob, drop the 'B's go Bo-bo
Or Hugh, Hugh, drop the 'H' go "ugh"

Mary, Mary, drop the 'M' Mo-Mary
That's the only rule that is contrary

OK everybody, now say: Bo!

(Bo!)

Now Tony with a 'B'

(Bony!)

Now 'Bonana Fanna Fo'

(Bonana 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 with an 'M' this time

(Mony!)

There isn't any name that I can't rhyme

Let's do Doug!
Doug, Doug

Bo-Boug, Bonana

Fanna Fo-Foug

Fee Fi

Mo-Moug

Doug!

Now you got it, Joanie!

(Instrumental Break)

But if the first two letters are ever the same
You drop them both then say the name

Like Bob, Bob, drop the 'B's go Bo-bo
Or Hugh, Hugh, drop the 'H' go 'ugh'

Mary, Mary, drop the 'M' Mo-Mary
That's the only rule that is contrary

OK everybody, Let's try David!
