Ah-HA!  (Slapping forehead!)  (No wonder I couldn't find any listing for 
Chico-Chico!).  I've heard this tune played several times, even on 
theatre organ, and should have recognized it.  She sings it in - I think 
- in the original Portuguese with lyrics by Aloysio de Oliveira.

Thanks for setting me strait on this, Glen.  You're my favorite person 
today.
