Varken zingt “Modern Major-General”:
I am the very model of a modern Major-General,
I've information vegetable, animal, and mineral,
I know the presidents of America, 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.
Koor:
Many cheerful facts about the square of the hypotenuse
Many cheerful facts about the square of the hypotenuse
Many cheerful facts about the square of the hypotenuse
Varken:
I'm very good at integral and differential calculus
I know the scientific names of beings animalcules
In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,
I am the very model of a modern Major-General.
Koor:
In matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,
I am the very model of a modern Major-General.
Drie dames varkens:
La la la la la la la
Varken:
In fact, when I know what is meant by "mamelon" and "ravelin",
When I can tell at sight a Mauser rifle from a javelined
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,
You'll say a better Major-General has never sat a gee.
