Words that rhyme with Peso
For the rhyme search, what matters about peso is this: two-syllable, vowel on the open /ษ/, ending that doesn't close on a consonant at all. The lyric earns it by placement, not by selection. Sketch the rhyme pool and you get perfect rhymes simply aren't available, no near-perfect family slants exist for this one, and the slant pool is enormous on the vowel side. Sketch the lyric role and you get a word the lyric earns weight from by context. The contemporary ear forgives โ and prefers โ the assonance matches here.

Why peso rhymes the way it does
The phonology of peso is a two-syllable core: the short /ษ/ (/ษ/), then it leaves the vowel hanging open. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 145, assonance 5,896, and consonance 496. 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. 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 peso, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
