This line keeps coming to mind, but it's not a song, it's a poem from a book I had when I was a kid (still have) that started "If I had a hundred dollars to spend, or maybe a little more..." and it was about going to a pet store. Bummer. If I knew a tune for it, I could play it! :-)
Fifteen, there's still time for you. Time to buy and time to choose. Hey fifteen, there's never a wish better than this when you only got a hundred years to live.
Another hundred people just got off of the train And came up through the ground, While another hundred people just got off of the bus And are looking around At another hundred people who got off of the plane And are looking at us Who got off of the train And the plane and the bus Maybe yesterday.
Hundred bottles of beer on the wall, A hundred bottles of beer! You take one down and pass it around, Ninety-nine bottles of beer on the wall.
--Drinking song (obviously), also sung on schoolbuses. In St. Louis, Anheiser Busch company had a building with 100 bottles of beer painted on the wall, easily seen from the interstate highway. I guess it is still there.

But I would walk five hundred miles
And I would walk five hundred more,
Just to be the man who walked a thousand miles to fall down at your door

I'm sorry to have taken so long
You must have been a bitch while I was gone
All this time you put up with fear
For a hundred thousand years

At another hundred people who got off of the plane

Who got off of the train
And the plane and the bus
Maybe yesterday.

Son, you know I'm sorry
There's only memories for you know.
