Words that rhyme with Overalls
Sound and sense both matter for overalls. The sound: three-syllable, vowel on the short /æ/, ending that lets the line dissolve into a fricative. The sense: a common-tongue word. It's an unremarkable word until the verse asks it to do something. What the engine returns: there are essentially no strict perfect rhymes, no family-rhyme matches turn up, and the assonance pool is the one that won't run out. Lyric-wise, the word reads as a workaday word. Assonance is where the modern songwriting toolkit lives for this one.

Why overalls rhymes the way it does
Overalls is built around the front-and-flat /æ/ (/æ/); it's three-syllable and softens into a fricative tail. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 217, assonance 6,719, and consonance 25. 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. 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. Overalls rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
