The Scheme Song
(sung to the tune of "Silent Night")
 Copyright (c) Gary T. Leavens, 1994

At Iowa State,
We learn Scheme,
recursion,
it's a dream,
Abstract data types
we have seen,
The pure essence
of programming,
Scheme's the language for me,
Scheme's the language for me.

Lambda and cons,
Cdr and car,			(pronounced as "cudder and car")
With these tools,
we'll go far.
For recursion,
a step then the rest.
Tail recursion
why that's just the best,
Scheme's the language for me,
Scheme's the language for me.

Input and out,
backtracking,
then some vectors
and sorting;
then we finish with,
set-bang and while,
it's just certain to make us smile,
Scheme's the language for me,
Scheme's the language for me.
