Words that rhyme with Coli
In phonetic terms, coli is a two-syllable anchor on the high /ɪ/, which ends on an open vowel. Common words like this gain weight from the company they keep on the line. From the rhyme-data side: no strict pair turns up at all, the family-rhyme bucket is bare, and the vowel-match pool carries the volume. From the lyric side, it works as a word the lyric earns weight from by context. Use the assonance pool freely; the ear treats most of those matches as rhymes.

Why coli rhymes the way it does
Pull coli apart phonetically and you get a two-syllable word with the clipped /ɪ/ (/ɪ/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close ends on an unbuttoned vowel. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 1288, assonance 5,602, 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. Writing-tip: don't end every line with the strict rhyme. Use the slant columns at the joints and the strict matches at the seams. Coli works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
