Major-General's Song by Gilbert And Sullivan

...
I am the very model of a modern Major-General
I've information vegetable, animal, and mineral
I know the kings of England
And I quote the fights historical
From Marathon to Waterloo, in (1)__________ categorical
I'm very well acquainted, too, with matters mathematical
I understand equations, both the simple and quadratical
About binomial (2)______________ I'm teeming with a lot o' news
(Hmm, lot of news.... Got it!)
With many cheerful facts
About the square of the hypotenuse
...
I'm very (3)________ at integral and differential calculus
I know the (4)____________________ names of beings animalculous
In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral
I am the very model of a modern Major-General
...
I know our mythic history
King Arthur's and Sir Caradoc's
I (5)____________ (6)________ acrostics, I've a pretty taste for paradox
I (7)__________ in (8)________________ all the crimes of Heliogabalus
In conics I can floor peculiarities parabolous
I can tell undoubted
Raphaels from (9)____________ Dows and Zoffanies
I (10)________ the (11)________________ chorus
From The Frogs of Aristophanes
Then I can hum a fugue
Of (12)__________ I've heard the music's din afore
(Ooh, din afore, din afore... Got it!)
And whistle all the airs
From that infernal nonsense Pinafore
...
Then I can write a washing bill in Babylonic cuneiform
And (13)________ you every detail of Caractacus's uniform
In short, in (14)______________ vegetable, animal, and mineral
I am the very (15)__________ of a (16)____________ Major-General
...
In fact
When I know what is meant by "mamelon" and "ravelin"
When I can tell at (17)__________ a Mauser rifle from a javelin
When such affairs as sorties
And surprises I'm (18)________ wary at
And when I know precisely
What is meant by "commissariat"
When I have learnt
What progress has been made in (19)____________ gunnery
When I know more of (20)______________ than a (21)____________ in a nunnery
In short, when I've a smattering of elemental strategy
(Oh, that's a hard one, strategy... Got it!)
You'll say a better Major-General has never sat a-gee
...
For my military knowledge
Though I'm plucky and adventury
Has only (22)________ brought down
To the (23)__________________ of the century
But still, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral
I am the very model of a modern Major-General
...
(One more time?!)
...
In fact
When I know what is meant by "mamelon" and "ravelin"
When I can tell at sight a Mauser rifle from a javelin
When such (24)______________ as sorties
And (25)__________________ I'm more (26)________ at
And when I know precisely
What is meant by "commissariat"
When I have learnt
What progress has been (27)________ in modern gunnery
When I know (28)________ of tactics than a novice in a nunnery
In short, when I've a smattering of elemental strategy
You'll say a (29)____________ Major-General has never rode a horse!
...
For my (30)________________ knowledge
Though I'm plucky and adventury
Has only been brought down
To the beginning of the century
But still, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral
I am the very model of a modern Major-General!
