Was there a lyric change in the 1973 London Gypsy for "Everything's Coming Up Roses"?

Listening to Dolores Gray singing "Everything's Coming Up Roses" and she sings "You'll be great, you'll be swell/Just you wait, I can tell" where I would expect to hear "You'll be swell, you'll be great/I can tell, just you wait". Was this just a one-off lyric flub on the estimable Miss Gray's part or is there some precedent? (I would LOVE to have seen Dolores Gray as Rose!)

There was a very smart lyric change in "Rose's Turn" that I'm sorry did not become standard, but no lyric change in "Everything's Coming Up Roses." What you heard was a flub. The smart change in "Rose's Turn" was changing "Momma's talkin' loud" to "Momma's singin' out."
