Words that rhyme with Ola
Singers reaching for ola find a workaday word on the surface and a two-syllable core on the flat /æ/ underneath — one that ends on an unbuttoned vowel. It's an unremarkable word until the verse asks it to do something. From the rhyme-data side: the strict column is unhelpful here, the family-rhyme classifier finds nothing, and the assonance bucket is the workhorse here. From the lyric side, it works as a stop-by-stop-grocery-shelf word. Use the assonance pool freely; the ear treats most of those matches as rhymes.

Why ola rhymes the way it does
In our engine, ola registers as a two-syllable word on a low-front /æ/ (/æ/) that doesn't close on a consonant at all. 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. In practice: start at the top of the perfect column, scan family next, and reach for the assonance pool when the strict matches feel worn. A lyric that uses only strict rhymes for ola tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives — and often prefers — the slant.
