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 (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 (3)____________ and quadratical
About binomial theorem I'm teeming (4)________ 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 (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 (6)____________ hard acrostics, I've a pretty taste for paradox
I quote in elegiacs all the crimes of Heliogabalus
In conics I can floor (7)__________________________ parabolous
I can tell undoubted
Raphaels from Gerard Dows and Zoffanies
I (8)________ the (9)________________ chorus
From The (10)__________ of Aristophanes
Then I can hum a fugue
Of which I've (11)__________ the music's din afore
(Ooh, din afore, din afore... Got it!)
And (12)______________ all the airs
From that (13)________________ nonsense Pinafore
...
Then I can write a washing bill in Babylonic cuneiform
And tell you every detail of Caractacus's uniform
In short, in (14)______________ vegetable, animal, and mineral
I am the very (15)__________ of a modern Major-General
...
In fact
When I know (16)________ is meant by "mamelon" and "ravelin"
When I can tell at sight a Mauser rifle from a javelin
When (17)________ 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 (18)________ in modern gunnery
When I know (19)________ 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 (20)________________ knowledge
Though I'm plucky and adventury
Has only been brought down
To the (21)__________________ 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 I can tell at sight a Mauser rifle from a javelin
When such (22)______________ 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 (23)________ (24)________ in (25)____________ gunnery
When I know more of tactics than a novice in a nunnery
In short, (26)________ I've a smattering of elemental strategy
You'll say a (27)____________ 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 (28)________ model of a modern Major-General!
