It was in her 1987 show on Fox, but I don’t remember the episode or the title. I think she and Julie Kavner were immigrant sisters, since it ended with them singing “Stand by Me” to each other in Russian.
If this is on YouTube, I really want to find it to show to my daughter and ex-wife.

Here you go, it’s the sketch “Trapeze” from season 1, episode 8:
Wikipedia has a pretty good breakdown of the episodes along with all the songs performed:
The following is an episode guide to The Tracey Ullman Show, which ran for 4 seasons, from April 5, 1987 to May 26, 1990.
Nearly every episode featured a song, most of them covers. These were either incorporated into a segment's score or performed by Ullman and/or the cast. They are noted in each episode's summary. However, some episodes featured original songs; their titles remain unknown and unlisted.
The name Bonita Carlisle is the nom de plume for the show's writing staff.
The Simpsons ...
That’s it! Thank you so much!
If you’re ever in Moscow, I’ll buy you dinner at the Metropol. :o
