99 Shortened Bottles of Beer [released]
# Disclaimer

This challenge also exists in [CGCC](https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/64198/99-bottles-of-beer), but if you want to compete here (too), then hop in!

# Challenge

Recreate "99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall", using the least bytes possible.

Lyrics:

```lang-none
99 bottles of beer on the wall, 99 bottles of beer.
Take one down and pass it around, 98 bottles of beer on the wall.

98 bottles of beer on the wall, 98 bottles of beer.
Take one down and pass it around, 97 bottles of beer on the wall.

97 bottles of beer on the wall, 97 bottles of beer.
Take one down and pass it around, 96 bottles of beer on the wall.

96 bottles of beer on the wall, 96 bottles of beer.
Take one down and pass it around, 95 bottles of beer on the wall.

95 bottles of beer on the wall, 95 bottles of beer.
Take one down and pass it around, 94 bottles of beer on the wall.

....

3 bottles of beer on the wall, 3 bottles of beer.
Take one down and pass it around, 2 bottles of beer on the wall.

2 bottles of beer on the wall, 2 bottles of beer.
Take one down and pass it around, 1 bottle of beer on the wall.

1 bottle of beer on the wall, 1 bottle of beer.
Go to the store and buy some more, 99 bottles of beer on the wall.
```

# Rules

- 0-byte answers aren't allowed. Although 1-byte answers are allowed while still abiding to not using [loopholes](https://codegolf.codidact.com/posts/282788), they won't be very interesting (unless you DO make it interesting).
- Use any form of output in the program. Yes, the whole thing must be outputted up until you reach $n=1$.
- Built-in functions and/or code for this specific challenge is pretty much allowed, only if you explain (even a little) how the code works (or not if you can't at all).
- Shortest program of each language used is the winner.
