Words that rhyme with Textbook
In phonetic terms, textbook is a two-syllable anchor on the deep /uห/, which snaps shut on a stop. Its everydayness lets the song surprise around it. Take the rhyme counts on their own terms: perfect rhymes simply aren't available, the family column is blank, the assonance pool has more matches than any verse will use. Take the lyric role separately and it's a plain-speech anchor. Let the assonance column shape the verse; the strict matches can punctuate it.

Why textbook rhymes the way it does
Textbook is built around the long /uห/ (/uห/); it's two-syllable and ends with a clean stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 35, assonance 13,251, and consonance 0. 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. Textbook rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
