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 (1)__________ the fights historical
From Marathon to Waterloo, in order categorical
I'm very (2)________ acquainted, too, with matters mathematical
I understand equations, (3)________ the simple and quadratical
About binomial (4)______________ 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 (5)________________ and (6)________________________ calculus
I know the scientific names of beings animalculous
In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral
I am the (7)________ model of a (8)____________ Major-General
...
I know our mythic history
King Arthur's and Sir Caradoc's
I answer hard acrostics, I've a (9)____________ taste for paradox
I quote in elegiacs all the (10)____________ of Heliogabalus
In (11)____________ I can floor peculiarities parabolous
I can tell undoubted
Raphaels from (12)____________ Dows and Zoffanies
I know the (13)________________ chorus
From The Frogs of Aristophanes
Then I can hum a fugue
Of which I've (14)__________ 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 (15)__________________ cuneiform
And tell you (16)__________ 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 (17)__________ a Mauser rifle from a javelin
When such affairs as sorties
And surprises I'm more wary at
And when I (18)________ precisely
What is meant by "commissariat"
When I have learnt
What progress has been made in modern gunnery
When I (19)________ more of (20)______________ than a novice in a nunnery
In short, when I've a smattering of elemental strategy
(Oh, that's a (21)________ one, strategy... Got it!)
You'll say a better Major-General has never sat a-gee
...
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
...
(One more time?!)
