Major-General's Song by Gilbert And Sullivan

...
I am the very (1)__________ of a modern Major-General
I've (2)______________________ vegetable, animal, and mineral
I know the kings of England
And I quote the fights historical
From Marathon to Waterloo, in order categorical
I'm (3)________ well acquainted, too, (4)________ matters mathematical
I understand equations, (5)________ the simple and quadratical
About binomial theorem I'm teeming with a lot o' news
(Hmm, lot of news.... Got it!)
With (6)________ cheerful facts
About the square of the hypotenuse
...
I'm (7)________ good at integral and differential calculus
I know the scientific names of beings animalculous
In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral
I am the very (8)__________ of a modern Major-General
...
I know our mythic history
King Arthur's and Sir Caradoc's
I answer hard acrostics, I've a pretty (9)__________ for paradox
I quote in (10)________________ all the crimes of Heliogabalus
In conics I can floor peculiarities parabolous
I can tell undoubted
Raphaels from Gerard (11)________ and Zoffanies
I know the (12)________________ 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 infernal nonsense Pinafore
...
Then I can write a washing bill in (13)__________________ 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 (14)________ is meant by "mamelon" and "ravelin"
When I can tell at sight a Mauser rifle from a javelin
When (15)________ affairs as sorties
And surprises I'm more wary at
And when I know precisely
What is meant by "commissariat"
When I (16)________ learnt
What (17)________________ has been made in modern gunnery
When I know more of (18)______________ 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 (19)__________ sat a-gee
...
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
...
(One (20)________ time?!)
...
In fact
When I (21)________ what is meant by "mamelon" and "ravelin"
When I can tell at sight a Mauser rifle from a javelin
When such affairs as sorties
And surprises 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 (22)____________ gunnery
When I know more of (23)______________ than a novice in a nunnery
In short, (24)________ I've a smattering of elemental strategy
You'll say a (25)____________ Major-General has (26)__________ (27)________ 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!
