The context: In Nothing Like Broadway!, Squeedle is a tech company that does so many wonderful things (it's like Amazon, Apple, Uber, UberEats, Twitter and Facebook all rolled in to one!). It's an integral part of the characters' lives. Annabelle extols its virtues. But does it play a more sinister role in her life and back-story?

A little about the creation of the song: I love patter songs! I love writing them, I love performing them, I love watching them. This is a straight-up list song with lots of fun triple (three syllable) rhymes. Some lyricists hate writing them. For me, it's the most fun thing to write.

     The Squeedle Song
Music & Lyrics by David Rackoff

                    ANNABELLE
DELIVER ME A PLATE OF RIBS, A PIECE OF FISH, A RACK OF LAMB.
A LOIN, A SLAB, A RUMP, OR JUST WHATEVER’S ON THE BACK OF LAMB.
I’D LIKE A CREAM, A BÉCHAMEL, AND ONE MORE OF A MOTHER SAUCE.
I’D LIKE TO DIP THINGS INTO ONE, AND THEN INTO ANOTHER SAUCE.
     IT’LL BRING YOU LUNCH, SO YOU WON’T HAVE TO LEAVE YOUR SEAT.
     IF YOU’D LIKE YOUR FOOD DELIVERED, TRY SQUEEDLE EAT.

DELIVER ME THE ANSWER TO “HOW MANY NIPPLES ON A GOOSE”.
AND TELL ME THAT A MEERKAT IS THE COUSIN OF A MON-O-GOOSE.
WHAT’S PROPER AS TO WHOM SHOULD BUY THE FIRST OF MANY ROUNDS OF BEER?
THERE’S FOURTEEN HUNDRED TABLESPOONS IN FORTY-SEVEN POUNDS OF BEER.
     IT’S AN ENGINE THAT WON’T LEAVE YOUR QUERY IN THE LURCH.
     IF YOU WANNA GET SOME ANSWERS, TRY SQUEEDLE SEARCH.

DELIVER TO MY INBOX THOSE VIAGRA ADS AND SPAMMER STUFF.
DELIVER MY EMOJI THOUGHTS INSTEAD OF WORDS, ‘CAUSE GRAMMAR’S TOUGH.
A TEXT TO MAKE ME LAUGH OUT LOUD, YOU KNOW I HAVEN’T “L.O.L.”ED IN DAYS.
AND VOICEMAILS FROM MY GRANDMOTHER, JUST LIKE WE LIVE IN OLDEN DAYS.
     ​IT’S A WAY TO HAVE A CONVO IF YOU’RE ALL ALONE.
     ​IF YOU WANNA TEXT OR EMAIL, GET SQUEEDLE PHONE.

          DELIVER ME A SENSE OF CONTROL.
          DELIVER ME A BREAK FROM MY SORROW.
          DELIVER ME FROM HERE.
​          DELIVER ME A SOUL.
          AND TAKE ME TO A PLACE I FEEL WHOLE.
          DELIVER ME.

DELIVER ME FROM COCKTAILS AT THAT STUFFY AUNTIE LINDA CLUB.
THEN LATER GET ME AND THE DUDE I MET WHILE DANCING IN ‘DA CLUB.
NEXT MORNING, TAKE ME BACK TO HOME IN SILENCE WITH NO TALK OF SHAME.
I’D RATHER HAVE A RIDE OF DISAPPOINTMENT THAN A WALK OF SHAME.
     IT’S A CAR, BUT YOU DON’T DRIVE IT; YOU JUST GET INSIDE.
     IF YOU’VE GOT A PLACE TO GET TO, TRY SQUEEDLE RIDE.

DELIVER ME THE WAY TO THINK FROM FRIENDS ON SOCIAL MEDIA.
DELIVER ME A POST THAT SOMEONE FOUND ON SQUEEDLE-PEDIA.
I’D LIKE A PLACE TO BLOVIATE AND BOAST AND GLOAT AND BRAG A LOT.
A STUPID THING YOU WRITE SOUNDS MUCH MORE SMART IF YOU HASH-TAG A LOT.
     POST YOUR MEMES AND PICS AND THOUGHT-ADJACENT ODDS AND ENDS.
     IF YOU WANNA MAKE CONNECTIONS, USE SQUEEDLE FRIENDS.

DELIVER ME A VIDEO ON CHESS, FOR HOW TO TAKE A PAWN.
TUTORIALS ON HOW TO PUT A BUTTLOAD TOO MUCH MAKE-UP ON.
I’D LIKE TO SEE SOME DOLLY PARTON SINGING SEV’RAL OF HER SONGS.
AND COVER SINGERS COVER-SINGING DOLLY PARTON COVER SONGS.
     SOMEWHERE VIDEOS AND COMMENTS ARE THE SOCIAL LUBE.
     IF YOU WANNA POST A MOVIE, TRY SQUEEDLE T--

               DELIVER ME SQUEEDLE EAT.
               DELIVER ME SQUEEDLE SEARCH.
               ​DELIVER ME SQUEEDLE PHONE.
               ​DELIVER ME SQUEEDLE RIDE.
               ​DELIVER ME SQUEEDLE FRIENDS.
               ​DELIVER ME SQUEEDLE TUBE.

               ​EAT SEARCH PHONE.
               ​RIDE FRIENDS TUBE.
               ​EAT SEARCH PHONE.
               ​RIDE FRIENDS TUBE.
               ​EAT SEARCH PHONE.
               ​RIDE FRIENDS TUBE.
               ​​DELIVER ME!
