# Food Chain
Write a program that generates the lyrics of the song 'I Know an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly'
Write a program that generates the lyrics to the song
"I know an old lady who swallowed a fly". While you could
copy/paste the lyrics, or read them from a file, this
problem is much more interesting if you approach it
algorithmically.
This is a [cumulative song](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cumulative_song) of unknown origin.
This is one of many common variants.

## Getting Started
Make sure you have read the [getting started with C++](http://help.exercism.io/getting-started-with-cpp.html)
page on the [exercism help site](http://help.exercism.io/). This covers
the basic information on setting up the development environment expected
by the exercises.
## Passing the Tests
Get the first test compiling, linking and passing by following the [three
rules of test-driven development](http://butunclebob.com/ArticleS.UncleBob.TheThreeRulesOfTdd).
Create just enough structure by declaring namespaces, functions, classes,
etc., to satisfy any compiler errors and get the test to fail. Then write
just enough code to get the test to pass. Once you've done that,
uncomment the next test by moving the following line past the next test.
```C++
#if defined(EXERCISM_RUN_ALL_TESTS)
```
This may result in compile errors as new constructs may be invoked that
you haven't yet declared or defined. Again, fix the compile errors minimally
to get a failing test, then change the code minimally to pass the test,
refactor your implementation for readability and expressiveness and then
go on to the next test.
Try to use standard C++11 facilities in preference to writing your own
low-level algorithms or facilities by hand. [CppReference](http://en.cppreference.com/)
is a wiki reference to the C++ language and standard library. If you
are new to C++, but have programmed in C, beware of
[C traps and pitfalls](http://www.slideshare.net/LegalizeAdulthood/c-traps-and-pitfalls-for-c-programmers).
