Words that rhyme with Senior
For the rhyme search, what matters about senior is this: two-syllable, vowel on the mid /ษ/, ending that trails through a flowing liquid. The lyric earns it by placement, not by selection. This one travels in song as a word the lyric earns weight from by context. Run rhymes for senior through any half-decent engine and you get this shape: no strict perfect rhymes exist in our dictionary, family rhymes come up empty, and the vowel-only slant pool is deep enough to write a whole album from. Let the assonance column shape the verse; the strict matches can punctuate it.

Why senior rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for senior starts at the vowel โ the front /ษ/, IPA /ษ/ โ and ends where the line ends on a liquid that pulls the line forward. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 1 match, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 237, assonance 5,677, and consonance 20. 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. What matters when you're writing: the ear forgives slants in service of meaning. If the strict rhyme is the predictable word, the assonance match will usually hit harder. Senior is a word where the slant choice almost always reads as more thoughtful than the obvious end-rhyme.
