Song Dinah plays/sings?

I've watched this movie repeatedly and I own a copy on DVD and I've searched on the internet but I've never been able to find out what song Dinah sings at the piano. Does anyone know?

Thanks in advance!

I think you mean "Lydia the Tattooed Lady." Grouch Marx used to sing it.

It was also Todd's ringtone for Lydia in the Breaking Bad finale.

"Lydia the Tattooed Lady" was written by Harold Arlen and Yip Harburg for the 1939 Marx Brothers comedy, At the Circus. You can find various versions sung by Groucho and others via Google; one memorable version was sung by Kermit the Frog in an early episode of The Muppet Show.

It was actually Rowlf the dog that sang 'Lydia' on an episode of The Muppet Show. My favorite version!

I hadn't thought of Rowlf's version for years! Next to Dinah's "Don't think I'm crazy? Watch this!" rendition, Rowlf's is #2 on my favorites list. 

It was also sung (briefly) by Robin Williams in "The Fisher King".
