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 – pirates, daughters]

but still in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral
he is the very model of a modern major-general!
