Dear Annmarcialee,
The 1947 hit "Come To The Mardi Gras" (a Portuguese tune) was composed by Max Bulhoes & Milton De Oliveria.
English lyrics were authored by Erwin Drake & Jimmy Shirl.
The Mary Martin version was recorded for Decca (24156) and backed by "Almost Like Being In Love" (Frederick Loewe, music - Alan Jay Lerner, lyrics).
Very kind regards,
Bill.
