Words that rhyme with Bart
Bart is a workaday word: one-syllable, vowel sitting on the open /ษหr/, ending that ends with a liquid-stop kick. It's a word everyone uses โ which is what makes it powerful in a lyric.

Why bart rhymes the way it does
In our engine, bart registers as a one-syllable word on the open /ษหr/ (/ษหr/) that lands on a liquid-into-stop cluster. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 82 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 234, assonance 6,888, and consonance 92. That's a deep perfect column. The song can ride strict rhymes from end to end, only sliding into assonance when the line needs to surprise. The songwriter's move is to pick a small set of strict rhymes for the chorus and open up to family and assonance through the verses. Bart rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
