Satirical comment on Frederick, Duke of York, the second son of George III (and younger brother of George IV), b1763 d1827. He commanded an army, very incompetently, during the war against Napoleon. His generation of princes were the last to be made generals as a right of their birth, and this song helps explain why!
i think the rhyme relates to an incident in george II's reign...but i'm not too sure what, and i don't trust wiki's explanations of english folklore. it's way off the mark.
