Dirty lyrics in classic show tunes

Hi all! For a cabaret I'm looking to put together a medley of old show tunes with dirty lyrics. Things like "Tom, Dick or Harry" where we can isolate a few lyrics for a laugh. I appreciate any suggestions!

While it isn't specifically a show tune, "I Never Do Anything Twice" is often included in Sondheim revues so I think it would qualify. ( "yes I know that it's hard"Dirty lyrics in classic show tunes

Porter's "(Baby) I'm the Bottom You're the Top"

"I couldn't sleep

And wouldn't sleep
Until I could sleep
Where I shouldn't sleep"

and

"Horizontally speaking, he's at his very best"

Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered PAL JOEY

and so many from THREEPENNY OPERA

Will and Ado Annie have some gems in Oklahoma!

from I Cain't Say No:

Fer a while I ack refined and cool,
A settin on the velveteen setee
Nen I think of thet ol' Golden Rule,
And do fer him what he would do fer me!

and

Other girls are coy an' hard to catch
But other girls ain't havin' any fun!
Ev'ry time I lose a wrastlin' match
I have a funny feelin' that I won!

from All Er' Nothin:

Annie:
Would you build me a house
All painted white
Cute and clean and purty and bright

Will:
Big enough fer two but not fer three!

Annie:
S'posin' that we should have a third one?

Will:
He better look a lot like me!

Oh how could I forget "In Our Little Den of Iniquity" from Pal Joey

"The radio I used to hate

But now when it is dark and late

Tchaikovsky's 1812 sounds great!

That's for me!

In our Little Den of Iniquity

( have also heard Ravel's Bolero used as well I just like the idea of the "cannon's" going off)

Two Cole Porter songs.

Kate The Great "She made the maid who made the room."

But In The Morning, No! "Do you do double entry dear? But in the morning no."

Also from Forum "Everybody Ought To Have a Maid"
