Major-General's Song by Gilbert And Sullivan

...
I am the very model of a (1)____________ 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 (2)__________ 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 cheerful facts
About the square of the hypotenuse
...
I'm very good at integral and (3)________________________ calculus
I know the scientific names of beings animalculous
In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral
I am the very model of a (4)____________ Major-General
...
I know our mythic history
King Arthur's and Sir Caradoc's
I answer hard acrostics, I've a (5)____________ taste for paradox
I quote in elegiacs all the crimes of Heliogabalus
In (6)____________ 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 which I've heard the music's din afore
(Ooh, din afore, din afore... Got it!)
And whistle all the airs
From that infernal (7)________________ Pinafore
...
Then I can write a washing bill in Babylonic cuneiform
And (8)________ you every (9)____________ 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 know what is (11)__________ by "mamelon" and "ravelin"
When I can (12)________ at sight a Mauser rifle from a javelin
When such affairs as sorties
And (13)__________________ I'm more wary 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 know more of tactics than a novice in a nunnery
In short, when I've a (15)____________________ of elemental strategy
(Oh, that's a (16)________ one, strategy... Got it!)
You'll say a (17)____________ Major-General has never sat a-gee
...
For my military knowledge
Though I'm (18)____________ 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 (19)____________ Major-General
...
(One more time?!)
...
In fact
When I know what is meant by "mamelon" and "ravelin"
When I can (20)________ at (21)__________ a (22)____________ rifle (23)________ a javelin
When such (24)______________ as sorties
And surprises I'm more wary at
And when I know precisely
What is (25)__________ by "commissariat"
When I have learnt
What progress has been made in modern gunnery
When I know more of tactics (26)________ 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 (27)________ been brought down
To the beginning of the century
But still, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral
I am the very model of a (28)____________ Major-General!
