Words that rhyme with Statue
For the rhyme search, what matters about statue is this: two-syllable, vowel on the short /ษ/, ending that opens out at the end. The lyric earns it by placement, not by selection. From the rhyme-data side: there's a deep bench of perfect rhymes here, family rhymes are simply absent, and the assonance count climbs into the thousands. From the lyric side, it works as a quotidian anchor. The strict list is rich enough to anchor the whole song.

Why statue rhymes the way it does
Statue is built around the centred /ษ/ (/ษ/); it's two-syllable and doesn't close on a consonant at all. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 185 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 929, assonance 1,690, 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. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Statue pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
