Well...this one is not on your face song on prostitution but, the execution and staging are suggestive: "I Enjoy Being A Girl" from the New Broadway Revival Production of Flower Drum Song.

"Push Da Button" is pretty damn slutty.
"Let Me Come Home" is also a total whore song. :)

How about "Let Me Entertain You" (GYPSY). She's a stripper, I know, but the lyrics can easily apply to a hooker. "Turning a trick" is street slang for prostituting one self.

"Let me ENTERTAIN you
Let me make you SMILE
Let me do a few TRICKS
Some OLD and then some NEW TRICKS
I'm very VERSATILE
And if you're real good
I'll make you FEEL good
I want your spirits to CLIMB..."

I think that last line is self-explanatory.

Another vote for HOUSE OF FLOWERS: "One Man Aint Quite Enough", and "Waitin'" in particular.

Not quite a prostitution song (it flatly states that the only way to get a man is to put out. a lot), but it's a favorite of mine so I'll mention it anyway: "Love Isn't Born, It's Made" from THANK YOUR LUCKY STARS (1943).

"Garden Path to Hell" from THE MYSTERY OF EDWIN DROOD. Cleo Laine's voice on the OBCR gives me shivers.

And bravo to whomever said "How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria?" That hussy!

Its not a song, but I love the scene in My Fair Lady where Doolittle is trying to sell Eliza.

SHE DIDN"T WANT NO CLOTHES!

"Pirate Jenny" is not a song about a prostitute; it's about the dreams of a scullery maid scrubbing floors, as Polly announces in the wedding scene before doing the number. When Lenya appropriated it in the film, it was sung by a whore, but no whore I know scrubs floors between turning tricks.

Hey, this must be a generation gap thing - but nobody seems to know the most famous one in its time --

NEVER ON SUNDAY!!

The stage musical arose from the famous movie and I was lucky to have seen Melina Marcouri reprise this song on stage - very catchy melody and witty lyrics

Song of a Child Prostuite from Runaways.

[Marguerite Chauvelin]

I agree with some of the previous mentioned. I also think What a Waste from Miss Saigon is a good one.

"If I Could Have Been" from "Working" is not a song about prostitution!

It's not a theater song, but, I've always thought that Tina Turner's "Private Dancer" is like the Rock and Roll granddaughter of "Ten Cents a Dance."

just because a song is sexually suggestive doesnt mean its about prostitution...

The Oldest Profession from The Life. I was fortunate enough to see Lilias White perform this live in The Life and she was amazing!
