Sorry - I've never seen the original, only a performance by 2 mezzos in a
special or some such. But the song would still work for 2 sopranos, if it
doesn't break all the windows... :-)

Can I claim flu syndrome??

You're correct - it was specifically for an alto belter (Ethel Merman) and
a legit baritone (Ray Middleton). A far cry from a duet for two sopranos,
which is what was originally requested.
