I couldn't find the lyrics... So I made my own
I am the very model of a modern Major-General
I have information vegitable, 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 simple and quadratical
About binomial theorem, I'm teeming with a lot o' news
With many cheerful facts about the square of the hypotenuse.
WHERE'S MY CHORUS?!
I'm very good at intergral 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.
I know out 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 Heliogababalus
In conics I can floor peculiarities parabolous.
"You know, this song is kind of dated."
"It's supposed to be MODERN Major-General..."
"I'm gonna add a new verse."
I can fire at a target and hit it at least half the time
Or graph out an electron path while using only numbers prime
I calculate the fall rate of a bullet shot a thousand yards
And perforate the thick heads of a hundred military guards.
I can make a simulation of an atom bomb and build one, too
Or flank a dozen men and ambush ten of them out of the blue
From SMGs to RPGs, I carry quite an arsenal
And skip around a warzone like a subatomic partical.
STILL NO CHORUS!
