Words that rhyme with Nutty
You can read nutty two ways: as a word the lyric earns weight from by context, or as a two-syllable shape on the clipped /ɪ/ that ends on an unbuttoned vowel. It's an unremarkable word until the verse asks it to do something. The headline counts: perfect-rhyme territory is narrow, nothing lands in the family-rhyme column, and the assonance pool runs into the thousands. The lyric headline: it works as a common-tongue word. Assonance is where the modern songwriting toolkit lives for this one.

Why nutty rhymes the way it does
Pull nutty apart phonetically and you get a two-syllable word with the high /ɪ/ (/ɪ/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close ends on an open vowel. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 13 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 8, assonance 4,317, and consonance 1027. 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. Practical guidance: read the song aloud and listen for where a slant would tighten the line. Strict rhymes are the structural skeleton; the slant columns are where the personality of the lyric lives. With nutty, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
