Here's a shorter version (163 bytes) that includes punctuation:

a,s="\n%s bottle","s of beer on the wall,"
for d in range(99,0,-1):print((a%d+s[d==1:])*2)[:-13]+",\nTake one down, pass it around,"+a%(d-1 or"No"+s[d==2:-1]+"."

Sorry, didn't know about the 100 character line limit.
Here's the correct version:

a,s,t="\n%s bottle","s of beer on the wall,",",\nTake one down, pass it around,"
for d in range(99,0,-1):print((a%d+s[d==1:])*2)[:-13]+t+a%(d-1 or"No"+s[d==2:-1]+"."

Based on the one in the last comment but less compact (268 bytes), matching 99-bottles-of-beer.net/lyrics exactly, and in one-liner form:

print(lambda A:'\n\n'.join([(A(n)*2)[:-14].capitalize()+'.\n'+('Take one down and pass it around, '*(n!=0)or'Go to the store and buy some more, ')+A((n-1)%100)[:-2]+'.'for n in xrange(99,-1,-1)]))(lambda n:("%s bottle%s of beer on the wall, "%(n or'no more','s'[:n!=1])))
