Answer:

The intention in "Revolutionary Tea" by singing about King George III as an "island queen" is to mock him as weak.

Step-by-step explanation:

In 1773, an anonymous poem was published named 'Revolutionary Tea' which was then converted into a song. The poem had a theme about the relationship between the United States, England and its colonies.

In the poem, the author calls the King George III an island queen with the intention of mocking him as someone weal and cruel since England imposed a tea tax upon its colonies despite of being wealthy.
