Words that rhyme with Bis
From a sound-design view, bis is a household-word on the tight /ɪ/, one-syllable, and it lets the line dissolve into a fricative. Plain-speech words like this earn weight through context. Search rhymes for bis long enough and you notice the pattern: the perfect-rhyme list is short, family rhymes are simply absent, while the slant pool is enormous on the vowel side. Its lyric role is a quotidian anchor. Use the assonance pool freely; the ear treats most of those matches as rhymes.

Why bis rhymes the way it does
In our engine, bis registers as a one-syllable word on the tight /ɪ/ (/ɪ/) that ends in a hissed consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 32 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 69, assonance 10,144, and consonance 423. 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. 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. Bis rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
