Words that rhyme with Article
Sound and sense both matter for article. The sound: three-syllable, vowel on the short /ษช/, ending that ends on a liquid that pulls the line forward. The sense: a household-word. The lyric earns it by placement, not by selection. Take the rhyme counts on their own terms: there are essentially no strict perfect rhymes, no family rhymes survive the strict family test, the slant pool is enormous on the vowel side. Take the lyric role separately and it's a quotidian anchor. The contemporary ear forgives โ and prefers โ the assonance matches here.

Why article rhymes the way it does
Article is three-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the tight /ษช/, then it flows into the next line via a liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 1 match, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 56, assonance 8,178, and consonance 0. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. In practice: start at the top of the perfect column, scan family next, and reach for the assonance pool when the strict matches feel worn. A lyric that uses only strict rhymes for article tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives โ and often prefers โ the slant.
