Words that rhyme with Navajo
Treated as a common-tongue word, navajo is also a three-syllable sound-shape on the round /ษ/ โ one that ends on an unbuttoned vowel. It's an unremarkable word until the verse asks it to do something. Take the rhyme counts on their own terms: the perfect-rhyme column has enough to live in, nothing lands in the family-rhyme column, the slant pool, matched on vowel alone, is huge. Take the lyric role separately and it's a quotidian anchor. Stay in the perfect column for as long as it surprises you, then drift outward.

Why navajo rhymes the way it does
Navajo sits on the round /ษ/, transcribed /ษ/ in our engine, and doesn't close on a consonant at all. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 56 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 1464, assonance 3,525, 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. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Navajo pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
