This song references various political figures and appears to mock the radicals and the Liberals.  The radicals are portrayed as disloyal and several Liberals are compared to these disloyal radicals: Lord Rosebery is, for instance, styled as 'Radbery'.  The song is a play on a Jacobite air; but the reference to Prince Charlie in the refrain is substituted for King Willie - William Gladstone.
