Major-General's Song by Gilbert And Sullivan

...
I am the very model of a modern Major-General
I've (1)______________________ vegetable, animal, and mineral
I know the kings of England
And I quote the fights historical
From Marathon to Waterloo, in order categorical
I'm (2)________ well acquainted, too, (3)________ (4)______________ mathematical
I understand equations, both the simple and quadratical
About binomial theorem I'm teeming (5)________ 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 (6)________ 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 (7)____________ history
King Arthur's and Sir Caradoc's
I answer hard acrostics, I've a pretty 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 (10)________________ nonsense Pinafore
...
Then I can write a (11)______________ bill in Babylonic cuneiform
And tell you every 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 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 (12)__________ by "commissariat"
When I (13)________ learnt
What progress has been (14)________ in modern gunnery
When I (15)________ (16)________ of tactics than a (17)____________ in a nunnery
In short, when I've a smattering of elemental strategy
(Oh, that's a (18)________ 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 (19)______________ 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 (20)________ what is meant by "mamelon" and "ravelin"
When I can tell at sight a (21)____________ rifle (22)________ a javelin
When such (23)______________ as sorties
And (24)__________________ 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 (25)______________ than a (26)____________ in a nunnery
In short, when I've a smattering of elemental strategy
You'll say a better Major-General has never (27)________ 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 (28)______________ vegetable, animal, and mineral
I am the very model of a modern Major-General!
