Major-General's Song by Gilbert And Sullivan

...
I am the very (1)__________ of a (2)____________ Major-General
I've information vegetable, animal, and mineral
I know the kings of England
And I quote the fights historical
From (3)________________ to Waterloo, in order categorical
I'm very well acquainted, too, with matters mathematical
I understand equations, both the simple 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 (4)________ the (5)____________________ names of beings animalculous
In short, in (6)______________ 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 pretty taste for paradox
I (7)__________ in elegiacs all the crimes of Heliogabalus
In conics I can floor peculiarities parabolous
I can tell undoubted
Raphaels from (8)____________ Dows and Zoffanies
I know the (9)________________ 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 (10)__________ a washing (11)________ in Babylonic cuneiform
And tell you every detail of Caractacus's uniform
In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral
I am the (12)________ model of a modern Major-General
...
In fact
When I know what is meant by "mamelon" and "ravelin"
When I can tell at sight a Mauser rifle (13)________ a javelin
When such affairs as sorties
And surprises I'm more wary at
And (14)________ I know precisely
What is meant by "commissariat"
When I have learnt
What progress has been made in modern gunnery
When I know (15)________ of tactics than a novice in a nunnery
In short, when I've a smattering of (16)__________________ strategy
(Oh, that's a hard one, strategy... Got it!)
You'll say a better Major-General has (17)__________ sat a-gee
...
For my military knowledge
Though I'm plucky and adventury
Has (18)________ 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?!)

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!
