What exactly are the lyrics to "modern major imbecile?" It's all very unclear audiowise. Anyone care to take a crack at what it is?

For those who don't know, that song was a take-off on the song Modern Major General from the operetta The Pirates of Penzance. It's really very funny, and it makes fun of English military officers.

Black Mage: He is the very model of a modern major imbecile,
Fighter: I'm so happy that Black Mage finds me so irresistible,
Black Mage: My mastery of hurt [___] is quite astoundable,
Fighter: And now if only what he said was [so/some] incredible.

Black Mage: I'm easily one of the greatest intellectuals.
Thief: Not to mention maybe just a little [___],
Black Mage: [___] that will [___] me will soon be attainable,
Fighter: And to think that all I wanted was some armor that's invincible!

That's all I could gather. Unless (until?) a higher quality version gets/has been posted, here's the song direct from the animation. [link (http://chicagolollie.madtracker.net/8BT-mmi.mp3)]

Black Mage: He is the very model of a modern major imbecile,
Fighter: I'm so happy that Black Mage finds me so irresistible,
Black Mage: My mastery of the dark arts is quite astoundable,
Fighter: And now if only what he said was somewhat credible.

Black Mage: I'm easily one of the greatest intellectuals.
Thief: Not to mention maybe just a little egotistical,
Black Mage: [___] that will [___] me will soon be attainable,
Fighter: And to think that all I wanted was some armor that's invincible!

I filled in some parts. I still can't get BM's last line.

Okay, I think I have it all now:

Black Mage: He is the very model of a modern major imbecile,
Fighter: I'm so happy that Black Mage finds me so irresistible,
Black Mage: My mastery of the dark arts is quite astoundable,
Fighter: And now if only what he said was somewhat credible.

Black Mage: I'm easily one of the greatest intellectuals.
Thief: Not to mention maybe just a little egotistical,
Black Mage: Ruling the world, for me, will soon be attainable,
Fighter: And to think that all I wanted was some armor that's invincible!
