Words that rhyme with Saucer
Singers reaching for saucer find a workaday word on the surface and a two-syllable core on the /ษหr/ that mid-Atlantic ears class as one vowel underneath โ one that trails through a flowing liquid. It's a word everyone uses โ which is what makes it powerful in a lyric. Take the rhyme counts on their own terms: there are a few perfect rhymes, no more, family rhymes come up empty, the vowel-match pool carries the volume. Take the lyric role separately and it's a low-register anchor. Use the assonance pool freely; the ear treats most of those matches as rhymes.

Why saucer rhymes the way it does
The phonology of saucer is a two-syllable core: the rhotic schwa (/ษหr/), then it spills out through a liquid consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 5 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 33, assonance 6,915, and consonance 457. 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. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Saucer pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
