A couple of swells

[Bill Pitwood]

Does anyone have the lyrics and / or the midi file for "A couple of
swells" as sung in Easter Parade by Judy Garland & Fred Astaire.

I would be grateful for either, or a copy of the sheet music.
Many thanks bil...@globalnet.co.uk

A Couple of Swells
words & music by Irving Berlin, 1947
(sung by Judy Garland and Fred Astaire in "Easter Parade")

We're a couple of swells; we stop at the best hotels
But we prefer the country far away from the city smells.
We're a couple of sports, the pride of the tennis courts.
In June, July, and August, we look cute when we're dressed in shorts.
The Vanderbilts asked us up for tea.
We don't know how to get there, no siree.
We would drive up the Avenue, but we haven't got the price.
We would skate up the Avenue, but there isn't any ice.
We would ride on a bicycle, but we haven't got a bike.
So we'll walk up the Avenue,
Yes, we'll walk up the Avenue,
And to walk up the Avenue's what we like.

Wall Street bankers are we, with plenty of currency
We'd open up the safe, but we forgot where we put the key.
We're the favorite lads of girls in the picture ads.
We'd like to tell you who we kissed last night, but we can't be cads.
The Vanderbilts are waiting at the club
But how are we to get there? That's the rub.
We would sail up the Avenue, but we haven't got a yacht.
We would drive up the Avenue, but the horse we had was shot.
We would ride on a trolley car, but we haven't got the fare.
So we'll walk up the Avenue,
Yes, we'll walk up the Avenue,
Yes, we'll walk up the Avenue 'til we're there.
