Subject: RE: Lyr Req: You can't do that there 'ere

…though actually I think that's the wrong that-there-'ere lyrics, sorry; the one I'm thinking of was Cockney, not Lancashire, I think.

Orwell quotes the song as:

For you can't do that there 'ere
No you can't do that there 'ere
Anywhere else you can do that there
But you can't do that there 'ere
