The song is called "Frasier (the Sensuous Lion)" with music by pianist Jimmy Rowles. Sarah Vaughan recorded it on her "Send in the clowns" LP in 1974 (Mainstream, reissued on Columbia Jazz Masterpieces Legacy CD), and Carol Sloane recorded it in 1978 for her "Carol Sings" LP (Audiophile, reissued on Audiophile CD), which contains another Mercer-Rowles song, "Morning Star," a lovely ballad.
