Words that rhyme with Attendant
The phonetic facts first: attendant is three-syllable, the rhyme-bearing vowel is a low-front /æ/, and the line lands on a nasal-stop cluster. It's an unremarkable word until the verse asks it to do something. In a song, the word is a common-tongue word. Behind it, the rhyme map shows only a handful of strict perfect rhymes survive, nothing lands in the family-rhyme column, and the assonance pool runs into the thousands. The slant-by-vowel column will carry you a long way past the strict matches.

Why attendant rhymes the way it does
In our engine, attendant registers as a three-syllable word on the flat /æ/ (/æ/) that closes on the nasal-stop pairing. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 13 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 145, assonance 12,643, and consonance 7. The empty family column matters less than it looks. Family rhymes are a strict-classifier construct; the songwriter's ear accepts most assonance matches in their place. 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 attendant, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
