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 know the kings of England
And I (2)__________ the fights historical
From Marathon to Waterloo, in order categorical
I'm very well acquainted, too, with matters mathematical
I understand 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 (3)________________ facts
About the square of the hypotenuse
...
I'm very 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 (4)__________ of a modern Major-General
...
I (5)________ our mythic history
King Arthur's and Sir Caradoc's
I answer hard acrostics, I've a pretty taste for paradox
I quote in elegiacs all the crimes of Heliogabalus
In conics I can (6)__________ peculiarities parabolous
I can tell undoubted
Raphaels from Gerard Dows and Zoffanies
I (7)________ 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 (8)______________ all the airs
From that infernal nonsense Pinafore
...
Then I can write a washing bill in Babylonic cuneiform
And (9)________ you every detail of Caractacus's uniform
In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral
I am the very (10)__________ of a modern Major-General
...
In fact
When I know what is meant by "mamelon" and "ravelin"
When I can (11)________ at sight a Mauser (12)__________ from a javelin
When such affairs as sorties
And surprises I'm (13)________ 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 novice in a nunnery
In short, (16)________ I've a smattering of elemental strategy
(Oh, that's a hard one, strategy... Got it!)
You'll say a better Major-General has never sat a-gee
...
For my (17)________________ knowledge
Though I'm (18)____________ and adventury
Has only been (19)______________ down
To the (20)__________________ of the century
But still, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral
I am the very model of a modern Major-General
...
(One more time?!)
...
In fact
When I know what is meant by "mamelon" and "ravelin"
When I can tell at (21)__________ a Mauser rifle (22)________ 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 (23)________ learnt
What progress has (24)________ made in modern 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 (25)____________ Major-General has never (26)________ a horse!
...
For my (27)________________ knowledge
Though I'm plucky and adventury
Has (28)________ 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!
