Words that rhyme with Waller
You can read waller two ways: as a quotidian anchor, or as a two-syllable shape on the /ษหr/ vowel that flows into the next line via a liquid. Plain-speech words like this earn weight through context. Engine returns: the perfect-rhyme list is short, no near-perfect family slants exist for this one, the assonance pool runs into the thousands. Lyric returns: a workaday word. The slant column is doing the heavy lifting; let it.

Why waller rhymes the way it does
Pull waller apart phonetically and you get a two-syllable word with the /ษหr/ that mid-Atlantic ears class as one vowel (/ษหr/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close trails through a flowing liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 10 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 36, assonance 5,487, and consonance 771. The empty family column matters less than it looks. Family rhymes are a strict-classifier construct; the songwriter's ear accepts most assonance matches in their place. 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. Waller rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
