Major-General's Song by Gilbert And Sullivan

...
I am the very (1)__________ of a modern Major-General
I've (2)______________________ vegetable, animal, and mineral
I know the (3)__________ of England
And I quote the fights historical
From Marathon to Waterloo, in order categorical
I'm very well acquainted, too, (4)________ matters mathematical
I understand equations, both the (5)____________ and quadratical
About (6)________________ theorem I'm teeming with a lot o' news
(Hmm, lot of news.... Got it!)
With many cheerful facts
About the (7)____________ of the hypotenuse
...
I'm (8)________ good at (9)________________ and differential calculus
I know the scientific (10)__________ of beings animalculous
In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral
I am the very (11)__________ of a modern Major-General
...
I know our mythic history
King Arthur's and Sir Caradoc's
I answer hard acrostics, I've a pretty taste for paradox
I (12)__________ in elegiacs all the crimes of Heliogabalus
In conics I can (13)__________ peculiarities parabolous
I can tell undoubted
Raphaels from Gerard Dows and Zoffanies
I (14)________ the croaking chorus
From The Frogs of Aristophanes
Then I can hum a fugue
Of which I've (15)__________ the music's din afore
(Ooh, din afore, din afore... Got it!)
And (16)______________ all the airs
From that infernal nonsense Pinafore
...
Then I can write a (17)______________ bill in Babylonic cuneiform
And tell you (18)__________ detail of Caractacus's uniform
In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral
I am the very (19)__________ of a modern Major-General
...
In fact
When I know what is meant by "mamelon" and "ravelin"
When I can (20)________ at sight a Mauser rifle (21)________ a javelin
When (22)________ affairs as sorties
And (23)__________________ 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 (24)________ more of tactics than a novice in a nunnery
In short, when I've a smattering of elemental strategy
(Oh, that's a hard one, strategy... Got it!)
You'll say a better Major-General has (25)__________ sat a-gee
...
For my military knowledge
Though I'm (26)____________ 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 affairs as sorties
And surprises I'm more wary at
And when I know precisely
What is meant by "commissariat"
When I (27)________ 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 better Major-General has never rode a horse!
...
For my military knowledge
Though I'm plucky and adventury
Has only been (28)______________ down
To the (29)__________________ of the century
But still, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral
I am the very model of a modern Major-General!
