This lesser known song was composed by Mary Rodgers in 1966 with lyrics by Stephen Sondheim under the name Esteban Ria Nido. It was introduced by Linda Lavin in the MAD Magazine revue "The Mad Show" and was meant to be a send up of the 60's Bossa Nova standard "The Girl From Impanema."
This is Linda Lavin's original version from the cast album of the MAD Show released on Columbia, but the picture is an alternate cover of the London cast of the revue "Side By Side By Sondheim," released in 1976 on RCA records featuring many little-known Sondheim songs including this one, sung there by Millicent Martin.

  • You're right! It is in fact Linda Lavin in the original version!

    Sorry for my mistake. I intended to upload the Millicent Martin version but I guess I absent-mindedly uploaded this version instead!
