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 order categorical
I'm very well acquainted, too, with (1)______________ 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 (2)________________ facts
About the (3)____________ of the hypotenuse
...
I'm very good at (4)________________ and differential calculus
I know the (5)____________________ (6)__________ 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 (7)________ acrostics, I've a (8)____________ taste for paradox
I quote in elegiacs all the crimes of Heliogabalus
In (9)____________ I can (10)__________ (11)__________________________ parabolous
I can tell undoubted
Raphaels from Gerard Dows and Zoffanies
I know the croaking chorus
From The (12)__________ 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 (13)________________ nonsense Pinafore
...
Then I can write a washing bill in Babylonic cuneiform
And (14)________ you (15)__________ 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 (16)____________ (17)__________ from a javelin
When such affairs as sorties
And surprises I'm more wary at
And when I know precisely
What is (18)__________ by "commissariat"
When I have learnt
What progress has been 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
(Oh, that's a (19)________ one, strategy... Got it!)
You'll say a better Major-General has (20)__________ sat a-gee
...
For my military knowledge
Though I'm plucky and adventury
Has only (21)________ brought down
To the beginning of the century
But still, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral
I am the very model of a (22)____________ 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 rifle (24)________ a javelin
When (25)________ affairs as sorties
And (26)__________________ 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 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 (27)____________ 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!
