I am the very model of a modern Major-General
I've information vegetable, animal, and mineral
I know the (1)__________ of England
And I quote the fights historical
From Marathon to Waterloo, in order categorical
I'm very well acquainted, too, with matters mathematical

About binomial theorem I'm (2)______________ with a lot o' news
(Hmm, lot of news.... Got it!)
With many cheerful facts
About the square of the hypotenuse
...
I'm very (3)________ at integral and differential calculus
I know the scientific (4)__________ of (5)____________ animalculous
In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral
I am the very model of a modern Major-General
...
I know our (6)____________ history
King Arthur's and Sir Caradoc's
I answer hard 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 (7)____________ Dows and Zoffanies
I know the (8)________________ chorus
From The Frogs of Aristophanes
Then I can hum a fugue
Of (9)__________ I've heard the music's din afore
(Ooh, din afore, din afore... Got it!)
And whistle all the airs
From that (10)________________ nonsense Pinafore
...
Then I can write a washing bill in Babylonic cuneiform
And tell you (11)__________ detail of Caractacus's uniform
In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral
I am the (12)________ model of a (13)____________ Major-General
...
In fact
When I know what is meant by "mamelon" and "ravelin"
When I can tell at sight a (14)____________ rifle from a javelin
When such (15)______________ as sorties
And surprises I'm more wary at
And when I know precisely
What is meant by "commissariat"
When I have learnt
What (16)________________ has (17)________ made in modern gunnery
When I know more of tactics than a (18)____________ in a nunnery
In short, when I've a (19)____________________ 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 (20)______________ down
To the beginning of the century
But still, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral

...
(One more time?!)
...
In fact
When I know what is meant by "mamelon" and "ravelin"
When I can (21)________ at sight a Mauser rifle from a javelin
When such affairs as sorties
And (22)__________________ I'm (23)________ wary at
And (24)________ I know precisely
What is meant by "commissariat"
When I have learnt
What progress has been (25)________ in (26)____________ gunnery
When I (27)________ more of tactics than a (28)____________ 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 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!
