Words that rhyme with Lula
Start from the sound: lula is a two-syllable word on a low-front /æ/, and it ends on an open vowel. It's an unremarkable word until the verse asks it to do something. Pool data: there are essentially no strict perfect rhymes, no near-perfect family slants exist for this one, and the assonance pool is the one that won't run out. Its function in a song, meanwhile, is to act as an unguarded everyday word. Treat the assonance list as the main shelf — the strict column is the footnote.

Why lula rhymes the way it does
Lula is built around the short /æ/ (/æ/); it's two-syllable and ends on an open vowel. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 2 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 1114, assonance 5,615, 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. 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. Lula rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
