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 (2)____________ and quadratical
About binomial (3)______________ I'm (4)______________ with a lot o' news
(Hmm, lot of news.... Got it!)
With many cheerful facts
About the square of the hypotenuse
...
I'm (5)________ (6)________ at integral and differential calculus
I know the scientific names of (7)____________ 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 answer (8)________ acrostics, I've a (9)____________ 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 Gerard (10)________ and Zoffanies
I know the croaking chorus
From The Frogs of Aristophanes
Then I can hum a fugue
Of which I've heard the music's din afore
(Ooh, din afore, din afore... Got it!)
And whistle all the airs
From that (11)________________ nonsense Pinafore
...
Then I can (12)__________ a (13)______________ 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 what is meant by "mamelon" and "ravelin"
When I can tell at sight a Mauser rifle from a javelin
When (14)________ affairs as sorties
And surprises I'm more wary at
And (15)________ I know precisely
What is meant by "commissariat"
When I have learnt
What progress has (16)________ made in modern gunnery
When I know (17)________ of tactics than a novice in a nunnery
In short, when I've a smattering of (18)__________________ strategy
(Oh, that's a (19)________ 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 (20)________ been (21)______________ down
To the beginning of the century
But still, in (22)______________ vegetable, animal, and mineral
I am the very model of a modern Major-General
...
(One more time?!)
...
In fact
When I (23)________ what is meant by "mamelon" and "ravelin"
When I can tell at sight a Mauser (24)__________ from a javelin
When such affairs as sorties
And (25)__________________ I'm more wary at
And when I know precisely
What is meant by "commissariat"
When I (26)________ learnt
What (27)________________ has been made in modern gunnery
When I (28)________ 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 military 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!
