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 theorem I'm teeming with a lot o' news,
With many cheerful facts about the square of the hypotenuse.

CHORUS

I'm very good at integral and differential 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.

CHORUS

I know our mythic history, King Arthur's and Sir Caradoc's;
I answer hard 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 which I've heard the music's din afore,
And whistle all the airs from that infernal nonsense Pinafore.

CHORUS

Then I can write a washing bill in Babylonic cuneiform,
And tell you ev'ry detail of Caractacus's uniform:
In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,
I am the very model of a modern Major-General.

CHORUS

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 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 smattering of elemental strategy,
You'll say a better Major-General has never sat a gee.

CHORUS

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.

CHORUS

CHORUS

I am the very model of a modern Major-General.
But still, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,
Has only been brought down to the beginning of the century;
For my military knowledge, though I'm plucky and adventury,

CHORUS

You'll say a better Major-General has never sat a gee.
In short, when I've a smattering of elemental strategy,
When I know more of tactics than a novice in a nunnery--
When I have learnt what progress has been made in modern gunnery,
And when I know precisely what is meant by "commissariat",
When such affairs as sorties and surprises I'm more wary at,
When I can tell at sight a Mauser rifle from a javelin,
In fact, when I know what is meant by "mamelon" and "ravelin",

CHORUS

I am the very model of a modern Major-General.
In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,
And tell you ev'ry detail of Caractacus's uniform:
Then I can write a washing bill in Babylonic cuneiform,

CHORUS

And whistle all the airs from that infernal nonsense Pinafore.
Then I can hum a fugue of which I've heard the music's din afore,
I know the croaking chorus from the Frogs of Aristophanes!

In conics I can floor peculiarities parabolous;

I know the kings of England, and I quote the fights historical
I've information vegetable, animal, and mineral,
I am the very model of a modern Major-General,

numb

love story blues (1926)

inside is out

everything grows

she's no angel

long song

living together, growing together

la musique adoucit les moeurs

i want to break free

dream lover

promise ring

the rover

honey bee

when i'm gone

time waits for no one

light is on

looking back

deeply
