Major-General's Song by Gilbert And Sullivan

...
I am the (1)________ model of a (2)____________ 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 (3)__________ categorical
I'm very well acquainted, too, with matters mathematical
I understand equations, both the simple and quadratical
About (4)________________ theorem I'm teeming with a lot o' news
(Hmm, lot of news.... Got it!)
With (5)________ cheerful 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 model of a modern Major-General
...
I (6)________ our mythic history
King Arthur's and Sir Caradoc's
I answer hard acrostics, I've a pretty (7)__________ for paradox
I quote in elegiacs all the crimes of Heliogabalus
In conics I can floor peculiarities parabolous
I can tell undoubted
Raphaels from Gerard Dows and Zoffanies
I know the croaking chorus
From The Frogs of Aristophanes
Then I can hum a fugue
Of (8)__________ 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 (9)__________ 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 (10)________ model of a modern Major-General
...
In fact
When I (11)________ what is meant by "mamelon" and "ravelin"
When I can tell at sight a (12)____________ rifle from a javelin
When such affairs as sorties
And (13)__________________ I'm more (14)________ at
And (15)________ I know precisely
What is meant by "commissariat"
When I have learnt
What progress has been made in modern gunnery
When I (16)________ (17)________ of (18)______________ than a novice in a nunnery
In short, when I've a (19)____________________ of elemental strategy
(Oh, that's a (20)________ one, strategy... Got it!)
You'll say a better Major-General has (21)__________ sat a-gee
...
For my military knowledge
Though I'm (22)____________ 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 more time?!)
...
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 (23)______________ as sorties
And surprises I'm more wary at
And when I (24)________ precisely
What is (25)__________ by "commissariat"
When I have learnt
What progress has been (26)________ 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 better Major-General has never (27)________ a horse!
...
For my military knowledge
Though I'm plucky and adventury
Has only (28)________ 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!
