The song was "The Carioca", not "At the Copa Cabana".  I'm not sure who did
the original recording, but it was the big dance number from one of the
Astaire-Rogers films, and I'm pretty sure it didn't use the line restart in
that rendition.  Of course, in those days reusing already released music in
a musical was fairly common, so I can't say that this rendition was original.
