"There was an old lady lived over the sea,

And she was an island queen;" (Lines 1-2)

Explanation:

The song "Revolutionary Tea" is an indirect reference to the imposition of tax on tea by the king of England, King George III famously known as the Tea Act on the American colonies 'her daughters'. The Americans resisted this through the Boston Tea Party.  

Lines 1 and 2 reads:

"There was an old lady lived over the sea,

And she was an island queen"

''old lady" being George III who was from overseas island, England.. Though a rich nation of it's own, she still had to impose tax on her colonies, "never contented was she,/ .. called on her daughter to pay her a tax"
