      The name game!

      Shirley!
      Shirley, Shirley bo Birley Bonana fanna fo Firley
      Fee fy mo Mirley, Shirley!

      Lincoln!
      Lincoln, Lincoln bo Bincoln Bonana fanna fo Fincoln
      Fee fy mo Mincoln, Lincoln!

      Come on everybody!
      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 and Bonana fanna and a fo
      And then I say the name again with an F very plain
      and a fee fy 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 Bonana fanna fo Farnold
      Fee fy mo Marnold Arnold!

      But if the first two letters are ever the same,
      I drop them both and say the name like
      Bob, Bob drop the B's Bo ob
      For Fred, Fred drop the F's Fo red
      For Mary, Mary drop the M's Mo ary
      That's the only rule that is contrary.

      Okay? Now say Bo: Bo
      Now Tony with a B: Bony
      Then Bonana fanna fo: bonana fanna fo
      Then you say the name again with an F very plain: Fony
      Then a fee fy and a mo: fee fy mo
      Then you say the name again with an M this time: Mony
      And there isn't any name that you can't rhyme

      Every body do Tony!
      Pretty good, let's do Billy!
      Very good, let's do Marsha!
      A little trick with Nick!
      The name game


      but but does it work... NOPE

      I don't really stink at name but when I don't remember them I just say I never remember names.
