threadjack-- go FSU!!!
Boo from a VT student. :-P
Mayhap "Young and Healthy" from 42nd St.
"Bring Me My Bride," A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum. Not all that tenor-y, but I'm pretty sure that last note is high.
The song "Girl Of The Minute" is great, I don't remember what show it's from though...
"She Loves me" from She Loves Me
Girl of the Minute from Starting Here, Starting Now?
Maybe? It's like, "You're the girl of the minute, but now you're minute's up". Terrible, I should know what it's from...
Gastons songs from "Beauty and the Beast" perhaps not a tenors part but can be done by tenors
"All I need is the Girl" - GYPSY
"Stars" - Les Miz
"I'm thinking of Myself this Christmas" - Dame Edna

sweetestsiren - "Agony" is a tenor song. At least, it's not written for baritones - it goes up to an F.
"I Believe In You" ~ H2$
"What Do I Need With Love?" ~ Thoroughly Modern Millie
I hate to say it, but "Dancing Through Life" from Wicked
Also, ironically, "I'm Not That Smart" from Spelling Bee
"I Can Do That" from Chorus Line
"Elegance" from Hello, Dolly
"I've Come to Wive it Weathily" from Kiss Me, Kate
"Use What You Got" and "Don't Take Much" from The Life
"Dentist" from Little Shop
"So You Wanted to Meet the Wizard" from The Wiz
'Who's the Man?' - Witches of Eastwick (though it may have to be brought up a little). It was replaced by an equally arrogant song called The Glory of Me, but there is no official sheet music for that...
"sweetestsiren - "Agony" is a tenor song. At least, it's not written for baritones - it goes up to an F."
Considering the PENULTIMATE baritone song, SOLILOQUY goes up to a G, I think I would find it hard to classify an F as too high for a baritone.
Any good baritone should reach at least a G.
I classify myself a baritone and I can hit a Bb...

heh... i still don't know how we pulled that off.
paradox -- do you mean ultimate? Penultimate means next to last....
How about "Movin' Too Fast" from TL5Y?

Point taken, I spoke too uninformedly. I'm a girl, actually, so I don't have the benefit of first-hand experience. I only said it was a tenor song because I recently used the song for a revue and got some flack from the baritone I had cast in it.
But jasonf is right - I think you mean ultimate or quintessential or something. Unless you actually mean the second-to-last baritone song ever written, the citing of which would do little to prove your point.

If you're a second tenor/baritone "Richard Henry Lee" from 1776.
Smaxie -- thanks for putting in "My Fortune Is My Face" . . . I was wracking my brain to remember what that was called. And Kudish is SO HILARIOUS in his rendition of that song!!!! Talk about arrogant!
"Extraordinary" From Pippin has a bit of that Arrogant Quality to it.
I'm not a singer so I don't know - but can a tenor sing a song written for a baritone? Because "C'est Moi" immediately came to my mind. Particularly remembering the nauseous expressions on Julie's face while Robert Goulet sang it!
"I Want What I Want When I Want It" from MADEMOISELLE MODISTE or TINTYPES.
"I Love a little Town" & "Dance with the Devil"
both from "The Witches of Eastwick"

Extraoridinary from Pippin was my first thought (already listed above!)
