That\'s some fast tongue.

Can\'t be it "photoshopped"? I mean adjusted by any program \'cause that\'s really fast.

Well according to the writing in the beginning, this was performed many years ago.

Uncultured Swine!!

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.

With many cheerful facts about the square of the hypotenuse.
With many cheerful facts about the square of the hypotenuse.
With many cheerful facts about the square of the hypotenuse.

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.

In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,
He is the very model of a modern Major-General.

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.

And whistle all the airs from that infernal nonsense Pinafore.
And whistle all the airs from that infernal nonsense Pinafore.
And whistle all the airs from that infernal nonsense Pinafore.

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.

In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,
He is the very model of a modern Major-General.

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.

 
You\'ll say a better Major-General has never sat a gee.
You\'ll say a better Major-General has never sat a gee.
You\'ll say a better Major-General has never sat a gee.

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.

But still, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,
He is the very model of a modern Major-General.

Oh yeah well here:

I am the very model of a cartoon individual
My animation\'s comical, unusual, and whimsical
I\'m quite adept at funny gags, comedic theory I have read
From wicked puns, and stupid jokes, to anvils that drop on your head

I\'m very good at fancy dances, I can even pirouette
Then smack the villain with a fish; I know my cartoon etiquette
I can make my face all mean and really give you quite a fright
Then make up with flowers made of real exploding dynamite

When in a jam, I just yell "stop" and villians in their tracks are froze
Then I sneak up, and utter "start" and take my hands and honk their nose
I am quite proud to be in such a hierarchial progeny
From Daffy Duck and Tweety Bird to Babs and Buster Bunny

To suit my mood I can call forth a lot of different sceneries
Like outer space and desert scapes and Himalayan eateries
From this bag here why I can pull most anything imaginable
Like office desks and lava lights and Bert who is a cannibal



You see in matters comical, unusual, and whimsical
We are the very model of cartoon individuals!

I had to watch a cheesy science-video in highschool with that song.  It was the best part of the video.
