Words that rhyme with Soho
The shape of soho: two-syllable, vowel coloured by the round /ษ/, ending that ends on an unbuttoned vowel. Its everydayness lets the song surprise around it. Two readings: as data โ no strict perfect rhymes exist in our dictionary, the family-rhyme classifier finds nothing, the assonance pool runs into the thousands; as lyric โ a household-word. The contemporary ear forgives โ and prefers โ the assonance matches here.

Why soho rhymes the way it does
In our engine, soho registers as a two-syllable word on the round /ษ/ (/ษ/) that leaves the vowel hanging open. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 1 match, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 104, assonance 2,901, and consonance 5. 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. 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. Soho rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
