Words that rhyme with Snowball
Treated as a word that lets the air into the verse, snowball is also a two-syllable sound-shape on the short /æ/ — one that ends on a liquid that pulls the line forward. It places the verse under a specific sky. Take the rhyme counts on their own terms: strict rhymes are abundant, family rhymes are simply absent, the slant-by-vowel pool is enormous. Take the lyric role separately and it's a forecast-anchor. Lean on the strict column for the hooks; the slants can colour the verses.

Why snowball rhymes the way it does
Pull snowball apart phonetically and you get a two-syllable word with a low-front /æ/ (/æ/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close spills out through a liquid consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 86 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 159, assonance 4,778, and consonance 914. 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. 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 snowball, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
