I beg to differ - in one episode of HR Pufnstuf, Witchiepoo sings a song about words that rhyme with Oranges...

"Oranges poranges"

You can imagine the rest...

No I can't. Please tell me the rest of the song.

Is this it lemoneye?

Oranges poranges, who says, oranges poranges,
who says, oranges poranges, who says--
there ain't no rhyme for oranges!
