Words that rhyme with Cue
For lyric work, cue behaves as a household-word. Sound-wise: one-syllable, vowel on the short /ษ/, finally it ends on an open vowel. It's a word everyone uses โ which is what makes it powerful in a lyric. What the engine returns: the perfect-rhyme pool is one of the deeper ones, the family column is blank, and the assonance pool runs into the thousands. Lyric-wise, the word reads as a stop-by-stop-grocery-shelf word. Use the strict rhymes for the structural beats and let slant rhymes do the interior work.

Why cue rhymes the way it does
Cue sits on the centred /ษ/, transcribed /ษ/ in our engine, and ends on an unbuttoned vowel. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 134 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 708, assonance 1,925, and consonance 0. 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. 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 cue, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
