Lambda Bound

I'm just a little value cell,
I play my special role so well--
Hmmm--
Serving as a global switch
To predicate some system glitch;
But some strange value--who knows which?
Could cause me functions to bewitch!

CHORUS:

Lambda bound!
I wish I was
Lambda Bound!
Bound, so no SETQ's get me;
Bound, so no quits reset me;
Bound, where I can forget my top-level value.

It's hard to catch those system screws:
'Most any value makes me lose--
Hmmm--
Each atom looks the same to me,
Whose interned name I cannot see,
And every NIL and every T
Reminds me that I long to be

chorus

Next time I'll have a MAR break set
And try to catch each clobber threat--
Hmmm, mmmm--
The next covert attempt to mung
Will cause the MAR break to be sprung,
But the the poor LISP will be hung
Because I'm not as I have sung:

Chorus




I also have "Homeward bound" on tape, SIPB has it on CD somewhere.
gmcmullan has the music for the melody, but you probably won't need that.
Make it whatever key is comfy, change things, no one will know the better.

6.001 lectures are in 10-250, 10AM Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Have fun!
