It's from a movie musical, but nonetheless:
"How Could You Believe Me When I Said I Love You When You Know I've Been A Liar All My Life"
- from Royal Wedding, music by Burton Lane and lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner
All from Urinetown:
Why Did I Listen to That Man?
It's a Privilege to Pee
Tell Her I Love Her

Okay, this isn't from a Broadway musical, but it's from a classic Fred Astaire musical, Royal Wedding... "How Could You Believe Me When I Said I Loved You When You Know I've Been a Liar All My Life?"
Yes, that's the song title. It's the longest song title in any musical from what I read, I don't know in musical film or musical in general.
It's a FUNNY song!

I'd Be Surprisingly Good For You
Don't Cry For Me Argentina
And The Money Kept Rolling In (and Out)
Vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra
Salve, Salve Regina
Ad te clamamus exsules filii Eva
Ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes
O clemens O pia

I think the two most geniuniely awkward song titles are:
And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going
- First of all, cause the title's freaking long, second because it can't decide whether to use contractions or not.
and
I Want to Be Seen With You Tonight (Funny Girl)
- IT's long and the tonight is so weird. Why just not "I want to Be Seen with You"? that is what they repeat through most of the song.
