The lyrics in speech bubbles are "I got soul; You got soul; All Labour's children got soul; Poor solitary me". The politicians featured are Roy Jenkins, Harold Wilson, James Callaghan, Richard Crossman, Barbara Castle, Robert Stewart and George Brown. A crossed out potential caption reads "Swanee Song".
