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 Marathon to Waterloo, in order categorical
I'm very well acquainted, too, (3)________ matters mathematical
I understand equations, (4)________ 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 very (7)________ at integral and (8)________________________ calculus
I (9)________ 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 (10)________ acrostics, I've a pretty taste for paradox
I quote in (11)________________ all the crimes of Heliogabalus
In (12)____________ I can (13)__________ (14)__________________________ parabolous
I can tell undoubted
Raphaels from (15)____________ Dows and Zoffanies
I know the croaking chorus
From The (16)__________ 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 washing bill in Babylonic cuneiform
And (17)________ you every (18)____________ 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 (19)__________ a Mauser rifle (20)________ a javelin
When such affairs as sorties
And surprises I'm (21)________ (22)________ at
And (23)________ I (24)________ 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, 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 never sat a-gee
...
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
...
(One more time?!)

In fact
When I know what is meant by "mamelon" and "ravelin"

When such 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 (27)________ (28)________ 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 (29)__________ rode a horse!
