Hi!  I, or rather, Rudolf Klomfar in the Black Forest, could
punch them for you from a MIDI file.  Among other pieces, I have
arranged Joh. Strauss's "Kaiserwalzer", Carl Teike's "Alte Kameraden",
"Griechischer Wein" (a quite famous German hit from the '70s).

I think the result is not that bad, even though the first two are not
too slow, and the last one is in a minor key -- despite the fact that
the repetition is quite slow (at a speed of 12 mm/sec or about 0.5
inches/sec, there can be a hole for one note only every 8 mm = 0.3"/s)
and the scale is purely diatonic.
