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 (2)__________ of England
And I quote the fights historical
From (3)________________ to Waterloo, in (4)__________ categorical
I'm very well acquainted, too, with matters mathematical
I (5)____________________ equations, both 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 (8)__________ of (9)____________ 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 (10)________ 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 (11)________ Gerard (12)________ 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 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 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 (13)________ at
And (14)________ I know precisely
What is meant by "commissariat"
When I have learnt
What progress has been made in modern gunnery
When I (15)________ (16)________ of tactics than a (17)____________ in a nunnery
In short, when I've a smattering of (18)__________________ strategy
(Oh, that's a hard one, strategy... Got it!)
You'll say a better Major-General has never sat a-gee
...
For my (19)________________ 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 (20)________ model of a modern Major-General
...
(One (21)________ time?!)
...
In fact
When I know what is meant by "mamelon" and "ravelin"
When I can tell at sight a Mauser (22)__________ from a javelin
When (23)________ 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 (24)________ (25)________ in modern gunnery
When I (26)________ 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 (27)__________ of a modern Major-General!
