Major-General's Song by Gilbert And Sullivan

...
I am the very (1)__________ of a modern Major-General
I've information vegetable, animal, and mineral
I (2)________ the kings of England
And I quote the fights historical
From Marathon to Waterloo, in order categorical
I'm very well acquainted, too, with (3)______________ mathematical
I (4)____________________ equations, both the simple and quadratical
About binomial theorem 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 good at integral and differential calculus
I know the (5)____________________ 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 answer (6)________ acrostics, I've a pretty taste for paradox
I quote in elegiacs all the crimes of Heliogabalus
In conics I can floor (7)__________________________ parabolous
I can tell undoubted
Raphaels (8)________ Gerard (9)________ 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 (10)______________ all the airs
From that infernal (11)________________ Pinafore
...
Then I can write a washing bill in Babylonic cuneiform
And tell you (12)__________ detail of Caractacus's uniform
In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral
I am the very model of a (13)____________ 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 such affairs as sorties
And surprises I'm more wary at
And when I know precisely
What is (14)__________ by "commissariat"
When I have learnt
What progress has been (15)________ in modern gunnery
When I know more of tactics than a (16)____________ 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 (17)____________ Major-General has never sat a-gee
...
For my military knowledge
Though I'm plucky and adventury
Has (18)________ been brought down
To the beginning of the century
But still, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral
I am the (19)________ model of a (20)____________ Major-General
...
(One more time?!)
...
In fact
When I know (21)________ is (22)__________ by "mamelon" and "ravelin"
When I can (23)________ at sight a Mauser rifle from a javelin
When such affairs as sorties
And surprises I'm (24)________ wary at
And (25)________ I know precisely
What is meant by "commissariat"
When I have learnt
What progress has (26)________ made in modern gunnery
When I know (27)________ of tactics (28)________ a novice in a nunnery
In short, when I've a smattering of elemental strategy
You'll say a better Major-General has never (29)________ 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!
