99 Bottles of C++ on the wall

I made this one night after reading a Slashdot posting about a programming contest. I figured why not give it a shot. I had a lot of fun and learning in this thing.

// Function Headers
char* bottlecheck(int num_bottles);
void take_one_down(int howmany);

void main()
{
    // Kick it 99 bottles style!
    for(int bottles = 99;bottles > 0; bottles--)
    {
          take_one_down(bottles);
    }

    cout << ":-)\nWow  - we need more beer!\n\n";
}

char* bottlecheck(int num_bottles)
{
      if(num_bottles > 1)
           {
            return " bottles";
           }
           else
           {
            return " bottle";
           }
}

void take_one_down(int howmany)
{
     cout << howmany << bottlecheck(howmany) << " of beer on the wall.\n";
     cout << howmany << bottlecheck(howmany) << " of beer!\n";
     cout << "Take one down, pass it around!\n";
     cout << howmany - 1 << bottlecheck(howmany - 1) << " of beer on the wall.\n\n";
}
