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 know the (3)__________ of England
And I quote the fights historical
From Marathon to Waterloo, in order categorical
I'm very well acquainted, too, with matters mathematical
I understand equations, (4)________ the simple and quadratical
About binomial (5)______________ 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 (6)________ good at integral and differential calculus
I know the scientific names of beings 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 (7)____________ taste for paradox
I (8)__________ 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 (9)________ 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 write a (10)______________ bill in Babylonic cuneiform
And tell you every (11)____________ of Caractacus's uniform
In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral
I am the very model of a (12)____________ Major-General
...
In fact
When I know what is meant by "mamelon" and "ravelin"
When I can tell at (13)__________ a Mauser rifle from a javelin
When (14)________ (15)______________ as sorties
And surprises I'm more (16)________ at
And when I know precisely
What is (17)__________ by "commissariat"
When I have learnt
What progress has been made in modern gunnery
When I (18)________ more of tactics than a (19)____________ 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 (20)__________ sat a-gee
...
For my (21)________________ 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?!)
...
In fact
When I know what is meant by "mamelon" and "ravelin"
When I can tell at sight a Mauser (22)__________ from a javelin
When (23)________ affairs as sorties
And surprises I'm more (24)________ 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 (25)____________ 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 (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 (27)________ model of a modern Major-General!
