Look this one

b=lambda n:'\n%s bottle%s of beer on the wall'%(n%100 or'No more','s'*(n!=1))
for n in range(99,-1,-1):print(b(n)*2)[:-12]+'\n'+'Take one down, pass it \
around'*(n!=0)+'Go to the store and buy some more'*(n==0)+b(n-1)

For above code, you need to indent certain lines. The post cannot show indents.

Another one-liner, but only 318 bytes:

print'\n\n'.join(map(lambda v:'%s bottle%s of beer on the wall, %s bottle%s of beer.\n%s, %s bottle%s of beer on the wall.'%([v,'No'][v==0],['s',''][v==1],[v,'no'][v==0],['s',''][v==1],['Take one down, pass it around','Go to the store and buy some more'][v==0],[v-1,99][v==0] or'No',['s',''][v-1==1]),range(99,-1,-1)))

Python is the Coldplay of programming languages.

Python, a language meant to do simple things, simply.

for bottle in range(99): print "%s bottles of coke on the wall, %s bottles of coke. Take one down, pass it around, %s bottles of coke on the wall" % (99-bottle, 99-bottle, 99-bottle-1)
