This isn't an example from someone's "do" command, but here is a single 
line of script that produces the 99 bottles of beer song. It requires 
LispLib to run, but LispLib could be included when a standalone is 
built -- it doesn't require modification at runtime.

put drotatef(cr,2,\
       subf(cr,"You go to the store and buy some more,","-1",\
       distributef(cr,\
       format(setf(b,"<*> bottles of beer") & setf(w," on the wall")\
       & ".\n\n" & b & w & ",\n" & b & ".\nYou take one down, pass it 
around"),\
       expandf("99-1 No"))))
