...
I am the (1)________ model of a modern Major-General
I've information vegetable, animal, and mineral
I (2)________ the kings 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, both the simple and quadratical
About binomial (3)______________ I'm teeming with a lot o' news
(Hmm, lot of news.... Got it!)
With many (4)________________ facts
About the square of the hypotenuse
...
I'm very good at (5)________________ 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 (6)____________ taste for paradox
I (7)__________ in (8)________________ all the crimes of Heliogabalus
In (9)____________ I can floor peculiarities parabolous
I can tell undoubted
Raphaels from (10)____________ (11)________ and Zoffanies
I know 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 (12)______________ 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 (13)__________ of a modern Major-General
...
In fact
When I (14)________ what is meant by "mamelon" and "ravelin"
When I can (15)________ 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 meant by "commissariat"
When I have learnt
What progress has been made in modern gunnery
When I (16)________ more of tactics than a (17)____________ in a nunnery
In short, when I've a smattering of (18)__________________ strategy
(Oh, that's a (19)________ one, strategy... Got it!)
You'll say a better Major-General has never sat a-gee
...
For my (20)________________ knowledge
Though I'm plucky and adventury
Has only (21)________ 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

When I know what is meant by "mamelon" and "ravelin"
When I can tell at (23)__________ 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 (24)__________ by "commissariat"
When I have learnt
What (25)________________ has been made in modern gunnery
When I (26)________ more of tactics (27)________ a novice 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!
