Line 2:
Write a program that accepts a name as input and outputs the lyrics to the Shirley Ellis song "The Name Game"
The regular verse
Unless your name begins with a vowel (A, E, I, O, U), 'B', 'F' or 'M' you don't have to care about special rules.
Katie, Katie, bo-batie,▼
The verse for the name 'Gary' would be like this:
Fee fi mo-matie▼
Katie!▼
Fee
At the end of every line, the name gets repeated without the first letter: Gary becomes ary
If we take (X) as the full name (Gary) and (Y) as the name without the first letter (ary) the verse would look like this:
Banana-fana fo-f(Y)
(X)!
Vowel as first letter of the name
If you have a vowel as the first letter of your name (e.g. Earl) you do not truncate the name.
The verse looks like this:
Earl, Earl, bo-bearl
Banana-fana fo-fearl
Fee-fi-mo-mearl
Earl!
'B', 'F' or 'M' as first letter of the name
In case of a 'B', an 'F' or an 'M' (e.g. Billy, Felix, Mary) there is a special rule.
The line which would 'rebuild' the name (e.g. bo-billy) is sang without the first letter of the name.
The verse for the name Billy looks like this:
Billy, Billy, bo-illy
Banana-fana fo-filly
Fee-fi-mo-milly
Billy!
For the name 'Felix', this would be right:
Felix, Felix, bo-belix
Banana-fana fo-elix
Fee-fi-mo-melix
