I hadn't remembered the words precisely as Virginia Knight reports them but
I can't find a source for them.  However, I do recall that the words were
written to be sung to the 'Great' g minor fugue as a taunt because Ebenezer
Prout had written English words as mnemonics for each of Bach's '48', and
that list, which is funny in its own way, can be found at:
