Old lady swallowed a fly

Present a program which emits the lyrics to the song I Knew an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly, taking advantage of the repetitive structure of the song's lyrics.

Old lady swallowed a fly is a draft programming task. It is not yet considered ready to be promoted as a complete task, for reasons that should be found in its talk page.

C

Boring, ad hoc dictionary based decompression. The encoder was arguably more interesting, though. <lang c>#include <stdio.h>

char *dict[] = { "_fa fly,_c _m,/That wr_kand w_kand t_kinside her;_`_n;/" "How absurd_g_n!_h`cat;/Fancy that_gcat!_ddog;/What a" " hog_gdog!_jcow,_ihow s_la cow;_acow_bdog,_jhorse.../" "She's dead, of course!/", "_a_m_bfly;_c ", "/S_lthe ", " to catch the ", "_iwhy s_la fly - Perhaps she'll die!//_fa", "_acat_b_n,_h`", " swallow", "There was an old lady who_eed ", ", to_e a ", "_a_n_b_m,_", "/I don't know ", "_adog_bcat,_d", "iggled ", "he_eed ", "spider", "bird", };

int print(char *c, int s) { do { if (s) s = print(dict[*c - 95], 0); else if (*c == '_') s = 1; else putchar(*c == '/' ? '\n' : *c); } while (*++c); return s; }

int main() { print(dict[0], 0); return 0; }</lang>
