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 (1)________ the kings of England
And I quote the (2)____________ historical
From Marathon to Waterloo, in (3)__________ categorical
I'm very well acquainted, too, (4)________ matters mathematical
I understand equations, both the simple and quadratical
About binomial theorem I'm teeming with a lot o' news
(Hmm, lot of news.... Got it!)
With many cheerful facts
About the (5)____________ of the hypotenuse
...
I'm very good at integral and (6)________________________ calculus
I know the scientific names of beings animalculous
In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral
I am the very model of a (7)____________ Major-General
...
I know our mythic history
King Arthur's and Sir Caradoc's
I answer hard acrostics, I've a pretty (8)__________ for paradox
I quote in (9)________________ all the crimes of Heliogabalus
In conics I can floor peculiarities parabolous
I can tell undoubted
Raphaels from (10)____________ Dows 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 (11)______________ all the airs
From (12)________ infernal nonsense Pinafore
...
Then I can write a washing bill in Babylonic cuneiform
And tell you every (13)____________ of Caractacus's uniform
In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral
I am the very model of a (14)____________ Major-General
...
In fact
When I know what is meant by "mamelon" and "ravelin"
When I can tell at (15)__________ a Mauser rifle from a javelin
When such affairs as sorties
And surprises I'm more (16)________ at
And (17)________ I know precisely
What is (18)__________ by "commissariat"
When I have learnt
What progress has been (19)________ in modern gunnery
When I (20)________ 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 (21)________ 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?!)
...

When I know (24)________ of tactics than a (25)____________ in a nunnery

You'll say a better Major-General has never rode a horse!
