Words that rhyme with Roo
You can read roo two ways: as a household-word, or as a one-syllable shape on the long /uห/ that leaves the vowel hanging open. Common words like this gain weight from the company they keep on the line. Take the rhyme counts on their own terms: you won't run short of perfect rhymes, the family-rhyme bucket is bare, the assonance well is bottomless. Take the lyric role separately and it's a quotidian anchor. The perfect-rhyme list below is generous; lean on it before sliding into slant.

Why roo rhymes the way it does
Roo is one-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the deep /uห/, then it leaves the vowel hanging open. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 134 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 708, assonance 1,925, and consonance 0. That's a deep perfect column. The song can ride strict rhymes from end to end, only sliding into assonance when the line needs to surprise. 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. Roo rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
