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 (1)__________ of England
And I quote the fights historical
From Marathon to Waterloo, in (2)__________ categorical
I'm very (3)________ acquainted, too, with matters mathematical
I understand equations, both the (4)____________ and quadratical
About (5)________________ theorem I'm teeming with a lot o' news
(Hmm, lot of news.... Got it!)
With many (6)________________ facts
About the square of the hypotenuse
...
I'm very good at integral and (7)________________________ calculus
I (8)________ the scientific names of beings animalculous
In short, in (9)______________ vegetable, animal, and mineral
I am the very model of a (10)____________ Major-General
...
I know our mythic history
King Arthur's and Sir Caradoc's
I answer hard acrostics, I've a pretty taste for paradox
I (11)__________ in (12)________________ 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 (13)__________ I've (14)__________ the music's din afore
(Ooh, din afore, din afore... Got it!)
And whistle all the airs
From (15)________ 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 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 when I know precisely
What is meant by "commissariat"
When I (16)________ learnt
What (17)________________ 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
(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 (18)__________________ of the century
But still, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral
I am the (19)________ model of a (20)____________ Major-General
...
(One more time?!)
...
In fact
When I know what is meant by "mamelon" and "ravelin"
When I can (21)________ at sight a (22)____________ rifle (23)________ a javelin
When (24)________ affairs as sorties
And surprises I'm (25)________ wary at
And when I know precisely
What is meant by "commissariat"
When I have learnt
What (26)________________ has (27)________ made in modern gunnery
When I know more of (28)______________ 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 (29)______________ down
To the beginning of the century
But still, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral
