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

Forth
swallow-addr is obviously a good candidate for an object, but Forth has many OO candidates - we won't settle that argument here.
