Been racking my brain and the only 2 I can come up with that have actual lyrics are "WILD HONEY PIE" & "TOMORROW NEVER KNOWS"
"Department of Redundancy Department"

I'd have to say Tomorrow Never Knows also.

Nothing in their catalog really qualifies if repetition counts as rhyme.

Not real sure that repeating a word would be considered a rhyme.

In that case, "Tomorrow Never Knows" wins!

According to Sammy Cahn's Rhyming Dictionary, repetition doesn't count as rhyme. And Sheila Davis in "Successful Lyric Writing" basically concurs.
