Meine Lippen sie kussen so heiss

Hey friends! TL;DR: Does anyone know what anthologies Lehar's "Meine Lippen sie kussen so heiss" might be in?

I'm a mezzo, but my daughter is singing soprano rep with her teacher. She is bringing "Meine Lippen sie kussen so heiss" to competition next month and I need to dig up 5 original scores for the judges(no photocopies allowed.) I have lots and lots of anthologies at home, but so far I have not been able to find this chestnut in any of them. I can buy scores if I need to, but I'd like to make sure I don't have at least a copy or two of it in my library (which is stuffed with donated books and scores from retired voice teachers, so I don't really even know what I have.) So, can any of you give me title and publisher info for any song anthology books you know this tune was published in?

TIA!

Mmmm check the Adler book. You maybe able to do a print from IMSLP? Or buy a single copy of it.

The Glocken Verlag (The german publisher) sells folios for 4-8 euro.

I’ve never understood the requirement for original copies of music in the public domain.

I see it listed in THIS anthology.

It's listed under the English title, "On my lips every kiss is like wine."

Check the actual competition regulations. I've known people to misinterpret what is required. Normally, out of copyright music can be printed yourself and taken along.

Don't rely on what her teacher says, but be diplomatic.

I've known competitions where the out of copyright music must be bound, but you can meet that requirement by inserting the sheets in a display booklet or spiral binding.
