This is far from minimal. Take a look at http://codegolf.com/competition/index/1

This is unfortunately nowhere near being a minimal version, as Jannis Harder reported. This is somewhat better, trimming off 101 bytes, though still 9% bigger than the smallest Ruby entry. As of posting this, it is in the top 15 results on codegolf for Ruby. Please don't abuse it.

def c
"#{$n} bottle#{'s'if$n>1} of beer on the wall"end
($n=99).times{puts"#{c}, #{c[0..-13]}.
#{$n<2?"Go to the store and buy some more":"Take one down and pass it around"}, #{$n=($n-2)%99+1;c}.

Before you rip on this version, please note that Anonymous is handling the
"No more" case, which codegolf did not include in their competition specs.
Of course, there still appears to be some room for inprovement.
