Major-General's Song by Gilbert And Sullivan
...
I am the (1)________ model of a modern Major-General
I've information vegetable, animal, and mineral
I (2)________ the kings of England
And I (3)__________ the fights historical
From Marathon to Waterloo, in order categorical
I'm very well acquainted, too, with matters mathematical
I (4)____________________ equations, both the (5)____________ 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 differential calculus
I know the scientific names of beings animalculous
In short, in (6)______________ vegetable, animal, and mineral
I am the very (7)__________ of a modern Major-General
...
I know our mythic history
King Arthur's and Sir Caradoc's
I (8)____________ (9)________ acrostics, I've a pretty taste 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 (10)________ 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 nonsense Pinafore
...
Then I can (11)__________ a (12)______________ (13)________ in Babylonic cuneiform
And tell you every detail of Caractacus's uniform
In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral
I am the (14)________ model of a modern Major-General
...
In fact
When I know what is (15)__________ by "mamelon" and "ravelin"
When I can tell at sight a Mauser rifle from a javelin
When such affairs as sorties
And surprises I'm (16)________ wary at
And when I know precisely
What is meant by "commissariat"
When I (17)________ learnt
What progress has been made in (18)____________ gunnery
When I know (19)________ of tactics than a novice in a nunnery
In short, (20)________ 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 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?!)
