Here's the best I could come up with. It uses C# 1.0 features only.

I think this best illustrates the structure of the song without any of my own personality leaking through.

class Beer {
static void Main()
{
const string X0 = "{0}";
const string X213 = "{2}{1}{3}";
const string X4c = "{4}, ";
const string X4p0 = "{4}.\r\n";
const string X4p = X4p0 + "\r\n";
const string X5 = ".\r\n{5}, ";
const string x6 = "n{6}";
const string X6 = "N{6}";
const string F = X0 + X213 + X4c + X0 + X213 + X5;
const string F0 = X0 + X213 + X4p + F;
const string FN = x6 + X213 + X4p + X6 + X213 + X4c + x6 + X213 + X5 + "99" + X213 + X4p0;
for(int i = 99; 0 <= i; i--)
{
System.Console.Write(
(i == 99) ? F : (i == 0) ? FN : F0,
i,
(i == 1) ? null : "s",
" bottle",
" of beer",
" on the wall",
(i == 0) ? "Go to the store and buy some more" : "Take one down and pass it around",
"o more";
}
}}
