Words that rhyme with Nobody
Nobody, a three-syllable stop-by-stop-grocery-shelf word, lands its weight on the tight /ษช/ and leaves the vowel hanging open. Common words like this gain weight from the company they keep on the line. Engine returns: there's a deep bench of perfect rhymes here, nothing lands in the family-rhyme column, the slant-vowel column carries the page on its own. Lyric returns: a quotidian anchor. Begin with the perfect list โ it carries plenty before the slant columns are needed.

Why nobody rhymes the way it does
Pull nobody apart phonetically and you get a three-syllable word with the clipped /ษช/ (/ษช/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close opens out at the end. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 325 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 1358, assonance 2,095, 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. 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. Nobody rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
