Words that rhyme with Randolph
For the rhyme search, what matters about randolph is this: two-syllable, vowel on the round /ษ/, ending that doesn't really close at all. Its everydayness lets the song surprise around it. From the rhyme-data side: perfect-rhyme territory is narrow, family-rhyme territory comes up dry, and the slant pool is enormous on the vowel side. From the lyric side, it works as a stop-by-stop-grocery-shelf word. Modern lyric writing on this word lives almost entirely in the assonance pool.

Why randolph rhymes the way it does
Randolph is two-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the round /ษ/, then it softens through an approximant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 9 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 61, assonance 6,313, and consonance 47. 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. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Randolph pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
