About binomial (4)______________ 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 (5)________ good at (6)________________ and (7)________________________ calculus
I know the (8)____________________ names of beings animalculous
In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral

...
I know our (9)____________ history
King Arthur's and Sir Caradoc's
I answer hard acrostics, I've a pretty taste for paradox
I quote in (10)________________ all the crimes of Heliogabalus
In conics I can floor peculiarities parabolous
I can tell undoubted
Raphaels from Gerard 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 whistle all the airs
From that infernal nonsense Pinafore
...
Then I can (11)__________ a washing bill in (12)__________________ 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 modern Major-General

When I know what is meant by "mamelon" and "ravelin"
When I can tell at sight a Mauser rifle from a javelin

And when I know precisely
What is (16)__________ by "commissariat"
When I have learnt
What progress has been made in (17)____________ gunnery
When I know more of tactics (18)________ a novice in a nunnery

(Oh, that's a hard one, strategy... Got it!)
You'll say a better Major-General has (20)__________ sat a-gee

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 (21)____________ 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 (22)________ 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 (23)____________ gunnery
When I know more of tactics than a novice in a nunnery
In short, (24)________ I've a smattering of (25)__________________ strategy
You'll say a better Major-General has never rode a horse!

For my military knowledge
Though I'm plucky and adventury
Has (26)________ been (27)______________ down
To the beginning of the century
But still, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral
