what if the name of the tune that chico plays on the piano?

In Monkey Business? He plays two tunes. The first one is a classical bit that I still can't think of the name of. The second is a song called "When I Take My Sugar to Tea."

"Gentlemen, question mark."

But he plays it so darn well !

Could anyone link me to the piano sheet music for it? I would really like to try to learn to play it. Thanks!

I found this link for pizzicato polka by sylvia on Google. It's sheet music but I don't know if it's for the piano: wwws.sheetmusicplus.com/ sheetmusic/detail/AP.20569S.html

It's called "La Ballade Des Vers Luisant" or "The Ballad of the Glowing Verses".
