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 (3)__________ of England
And I quote the fights historical
From (4)________________ to Waterloo, in order categorical
I'm very well acquainted, too, with matters mathematical
I understand equations, both the simple and quadratical
About binomial (5)______________ I'm teeming with a lot o' news
(Hmm, lot of news.... Got it!)
With (6)________ (7)________________ facts
About the square of the hypotenuse
...
I'm very good at integral and differential calculus
I know the scientific names of (8)____________ animalculous
In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral
I am the very model of a modern Major-General
...
I (9)________ our mythic history
King Arthur's and Sir Caradoc's
I answer (10)________ acrostics, I've a (11)____________ taste for paradox
I quote in elegiacs all the crimes of Heliogabalus
In conics I can floor peculiarities parabolous
I can tell undoubted
Raphaels from Gerard (12)________ and Zoffanies
I (13)________ 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 (14)______________ all the airs
From that infernal nonsense Pinafore
...
Then I can write a washing bill in Babylonic cuneiform
And tell you every (15)____________ 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 (16)__________ from a javelin
When such affairs as sorties
And surprises I'm (17)________ wary at
And when I know precisely
What is meant by "commissariat"
When I have learnt
What progress has (18)________ made in (19)____________ gunnery
When I know more of tactics than a novice in a nunnery
In short, when I've a smattering of (20)__________________ strategy
(Oh, that's a hard one, strategy... Got it!)
You'll say a better Major-General has never sat a-gee
...
For my (21)________________ 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 (22)________ 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 (23)________ I know precisely
What is meant by "commissariat"
When I have learnt
What (24)________________ has (25)________ made in modern gunnery
When I (26)________ (27)________ 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 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 (28)__________ of a modern Major-General!
