Words that rhyme with Lobby
Most songwriters treat lobby as a stop-by-stop-grocery-shelf word, but the phonology underneath matters: two-syllable, vowel on the clipped /ɪ/, ending that ends on an unbuttoned vowel. The lyric earns it by placement, not by selection. The assonance options multiply into the thousands, no family rhymes survive the strict family test, and strict matches show up in low numbers. What rhymes with lobby? The honest answer: the pull is toward slant work. The slant column is doing the heavy lifting; let it.

Why lobby rhymes the way it does
To understand why lobby rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel — the high /ɪ/, written /ɪ/ — and the ending, which ends on an unbuttoned vowel. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 17 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 42, assonance 5,657, and consonance 237. 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. What matters when you're writing: the ear forgives slants in service of meaning. If the strict rhyme is the predictable word, the assonance match will usually hit harder. Lobby is a word where the slant choice almost always reads as more thoughtful than the obvious end-rhyme.
