Major-General's Song by Gilbert And Sullivan

...
I am the very (1)__________ of a modern Major-General
I've (2)______________________ vegetable, animal, and mineral
I (3)________ the kings of England
And I quote the (4)____________ historical
From Marathon to Waterloo, in order categorical
I'm (5)________ well acquainted, too, (6)________ 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 square of the hypotenuse
...
I'm very (7)________ at integral and (8)________________________ calculus
I know the scientific names of beings animalculous
In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral
I am the very model of a modern Major-General
...
I know our mythic history
King Arthur's and Sir Caradoc's
I answer (9)________ 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 Gerard Dows and Zoffanies
I know the croaking chorus
From The Frogs of Aristophanes
Then I can hum a fugue
Of (10)__________ 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 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 (11)__________ of a modern Major-General
...
In fact
When I know what is meant by "mamelon" and "ravelin"
When I can (12)________ at sight a (13)____________ rifle from a javelin
When such affairs as sorties
And surprises I'm (14)________ (15)________ 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 (16)________ more of tactics than a novice in a nunnery
In short, when I've a smattering of elemental strategy
(Oh, that's a (17)________ 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 (18)________ been brought down
To the beginning of the century
But still, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral
I am the very (19)__________ of a modern Major-General
...
(One more time?!)
...
In fact
When I know what is meant by "mamelon" and "ravelin"
When I can (20)________ at (21)__________ a Mauser rifle from a javelin
When such (22)______________ as sorties
And surprises I'm more wary at
And (23)________ 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 (24)____________________ of (25)__________________ strategy
You'll say a better Major-General has (26)__________ rode a horse!

For my military knowledge
Though I'm plucky and adventury
