Words that rhyme with Dealer
Map dealer onto a phonological grid and you get: two-syllable, the /ษหr/ vowel, ending that flows into the next line via a liquid. Lyrically, it reads as a household-word. The lyric earns it by placement, not by selection. The assonance column dwarfs the others, no family rhymes survive the strict family test, and perfect-rhyme territory is narrow. Type rhymes for dealer into any dictionary and the answer is roughly the same: the pull is toward slant work. The contemporary ear forgives โ and prefers โ the assonance matches here.

Why dealer rhymes the way it does
To understand why dealer rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel โ the r-coloured schwa, written /ษหr/ โ and the ending, which ends on a liquid that pulls the line forward. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 9 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 147, assonance 3,872, and consonance 864. 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. Dealer rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
