Words that rhyme with Army
The phonetic facts first: army is two-syllable, the rhyme-bearing vowel is the short /ɪ/, and the line ends on an open vowel. Its everydayness lets the song surprise around it. The headline counts: there are essentially no strict perfect rhymes, family rhymes contribute a handful of voice-pair near-perfects, and the assonance pool is the one that won't run out. The lyric headline: it works as an unguarded everyday word. When strict matches feel exhausted, the assonance column is where you go fishing.

Why army rhymes the way it does
Army is built around the high /ɪ/ (/ɪ/); it's two-syllable and ends on an open vowel. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 1 match, family rhymes 4, additive and subtractive together 106, assonance 7,650, and consonance 42. The mix gives you options across the board. Strict rhymes for the structural beats, family or assonance for the interior lines. Practical guidance: read the song aloud and listen for where a slant would tighten the line. Strict rhymes are the structural skeleton; the slant columns are where the personality of the lyric lives. With army, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
