Major-General's Song by Gilbert And Sullivan

...
I am the (1)________ 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 (2)________________ to Waterloo, in order categorical
I'm (3)________ well acquainted, too, with matters mathematical
I understand equations, (4)________ the simple and quadratical
About binomial theorem I'm teeming with a lot o' news
(Hmm, lot of news.... Got it!)
With (5)________ (6)________________ facts
About the square of the hypotenuse
...
I'm (7)________ good at (8)________________ and differential calculus
I know the (9)____________________ 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 (10)____________ (11)________ acrostics, I've a pretty taste for paradox
I quote in elegiacs all the crimes of Heliogabalus
In conics I can floor peculiarities parabolous
I can tell undoubted
Raphaels from (12)____________ Dows and Zoffanies
I know the croaking chorus
From The (13)__________ of Aristophanes
Then I can hum a fugue
Of which I've (14)__________ 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 tell you every detail of Caractacus's uniform
In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral
I am the very model of a modern Major-General
...
In fact
When I know (15)________ is meant by "mamelon" and "ravelin"
When I can tell at sight a Mauser rifle from a javelin
When such affairs as sorties
And (16)__________________ I'm more wary at
And when I know precisely
What is meant by "commissariat"
When I have learnt
What progress has been made in (17)____________ gunnery
When I know more of tactics than a novice 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 (18)__________ sat a-gee
...
For my (19)________________ knowledge
Though I'm plucky and adventury
Has (20)________ been (21)______________ down
To the beginning of the century
But still, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral
I am the very model of a (22)____________ Major-General
...
(One more time?!)
...
In fact
When I know what is meant by "mamelon" and "ravelin"
When I can (23)________ at (24)__________ a (25)____________ rifle from a javelin
When such affairs as sorties
And surprises I'm more wary at
And when I (26)________ precisely
What is meant by "commissariat"
When I have learnt
What progress has been made in (27)____________ gunnery
When I know more of tactics than a novice in a nunnery
In short, when I've a smattering of elemental strategy
You'll say a better Major-General has never rode a horse!
...
For my (28)________________ 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 (29)__________ of a modern Major-General!
