Words that rhyme with Marvelous
From a sound-design view, marvelous is a tonal-temperature word on the open /aส/ glide, three-syllable, and it ends in a hissed consonant. Songs use it to mark the emotional temperature. Its job in a lyric is a temperature-of-the-line word, holding down whatever line it lands in. Rhymes for marvelous have a particular footprint: perfect rhymes simply aren't available, the family-rhyme bucket is bare, and the vowel-only slant pool is deep enough to write a whole album from. When strict matches feel exhausted, the assonance column is where you go fishing.

Why marvelous rhymes the way it does
Marvelous is built around the descending /aส/ (/aส/); it's three-syllable and tails through a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 55, assonance 8,119, 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. Marvelous works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
