Major-General's Song by Gilbert And Sullivan

...
I am the (1)________ model of a modern Major-General
I've (2)______________________ vegetable, animal, and mineral
I (3)________ the kings of England
And I quote the fights historical
From Marathon to Waterloo, in (4)__________ categorical
I'm very well acquainted, too, with matters mathematical
I understand equations, both the simple and quadratical
About binomial theorem I'm (5)______________ with a lot o' news
(Hmm, lot of news.... Got it!)
With (6)________ cheerful facts
About the square of the hypotenuse
...
I'm (7)________ (8)________ at integral and differential calculus
I know the scientific (9)__________ of (10)____________ animalculous
In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral
I am the very model of a modern Major-General
...
I know our mythic history
King Arthur's and Sir Caradoc's
I answer hard acrostics, I've a (11)____________ taste for paradox
I quote in elegiacs all the (12)____________ of Heliogabalus
In conics I can floor peculiarities parabolous
I can tell undoubted
Raphaels (13)________ 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 (14)______________ all the airs
From that (15)________________ nonsense Pinafore
...
Then I can write a washing (16)________ in Babylonic cuneiform
And tell you (17)__________ 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 (18)__________ by "mamelon" and "ravelin"
When I can (19)________ at sight a Mauser rifle from a javelin
When (20)________ affairs as sorties
And surprises 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 know more of tactics than a novice in a nunnery
In short, (21)________ 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 (22)________________ knowledge
Though I'm plucky and adventury
Has only been brought down
To the (23)__________________ of the century
But still, in (24)______________ vegetable, animal, and mineral
I am the very (25)__________ 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 (26)__________ a Mauser rifle from a javelin
When such affairs as sorties
And surprises I'm more wary at
And when I (27)________ precisely
What is meant by "commissariat"
When I have learnt
What progress has been made in (28)____________ 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 (29)________ 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!
