As with many playground songs (if that's the right term), there are a
number of versions in circulation. See also

Are you assuming yours is the only correct one because it's on the front
page of the 99 bottles website, or have you other evidence?
In my collection I have a Befunge version with " no more beer..." as the
last line. I'm not sure where I got it from....

It took me a moment to figure what you were supposed to do with the
first of these. DMC doesn't appear to have an option to do just the
preprocessing. Borland cpp32 (version 5.2) works, but generates loads
of blank lines. But I can't at the moment see what you're claiming is
wrong with it.
