The song that you're referring to is "Golden Slumbers," and the song directly
following it is "Carry that Weight." However, the lullaby played in that scene was
definitely not that song. What it was, I don't know. Probably something that Alf
Clausen wrote for just such a situation. They've never actually played a Beatles
song on any of the episodes (discounting Apu's rendition of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely
Hearts Club Band).

It wasn't a real Beatles tune, but a pastiche of Beatley sounding bits.

Not true. The Beatles sucked UNTIL they got weird. How can anyone
stand that programmed pop tripe?
