Its everydayness lets the song surprise around it.

Why tee rhymes the way it does
In our engine, tee registers as a one-syllable word on the long /iห/ (/iห/) that opens out at the end. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 131 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 1041, assonance 2,306, 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. In practice: start at the top of the perfect column, scan family next, and reach for the assonance pool when the strict matches feel worn. A lyric that uses only strict rhymes for tee tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives โ and often prefers โ the slant.
