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 matters mathematical
I understand equations, both the simple and quadratical
About binomial (1)______________ 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 (2)________ at integral and differential calculus
I (3)________ the scientific names of beings animalculous
In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral
I am the (4)________ model of a modern Major-General
...
I know our mythic history
King Arthur's and Sir Caradoc's
I answer hard acrostics, I've a pretty (5)__________ for paradox
I quote in (6)________________ all the crimes of Heliogabalus
In conics I can floor (7)__________________________ parabolous
I can tell undoubted
Raphaels from Gerard (8)________ 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 (9)______________ all the airs
From that infernal nonsense Pinafore
...
Then I can write a washing bill in Babylonic cuneiform
And tell you every detail 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 (10)__________ by "mamelon" and "ravelin"
When I can tell at sight a (11)____________ rifle from a javelin
When (12)________ affairs as sorties
And surprises I'm (13)________ wary at
And when I (14)________ precisely
What is (15)__________ by "commissariat"
When I have learnt
What progress has (16)________ made in modern gunnery
When I know (17)________ of tactics (18)________ 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 only been brought down
To the (19)__________________ of the century
But still, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral
I am the very model of a modern Major-General

When I know more of tactics (27)________ 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 model of a modern Major-General!
