Major-General's Song by Gilbert And Sullivan

...
I am the very model of a modern 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, with (1)______________ mathematical
I understand equations, both the simple and quadratical
About (2)________________ theorem I'm teeming with 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 know the scientific names of beings animalculous
In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral
I am the (3)________ model of a modern Major-General
...
I (4)________ our mythic history
King Arthur's and Sir Caradoc's
I (5)____________ hard acrostics, I've a pretty 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 (6)____________ (7)________ 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 (8)________ (9)________________ nonsense Pinafore
...
Then I can write a (10)______________ bill in Babylonic cuneiform
And (11)________ you every detail of Caractacus's uniform
In short, in (12)______________ vegetable, animal, and mineral
I am the very model of a (13)____________ Major-General
...
In fact
When I know what is meant by "mamelon" and "ravelin"
When I can (14)________ at sight a Mauser (15)__________ from a javelin
When such (16)______________ as sorties
And (17)__________________ I'm (18)________ (19)________ at
And when I know precisely
What is meant by "commissariat"
When I have learnt
What progress has (20)________ made in modern gunnery
When I know more of tactics (21)________ 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 (22)________ 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 I can (23)________ at (24)__________ a Mauser rifle from a javelin
When (25)________ affairs as sorties
And surprises I'm (26)________ (27)________ 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 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 (28)__________ 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!
