"You Must Meet My Wife" - A Little Night Music
I'll second A Little Priest and Sue Me. I'll add "A Handbag is Not a Proper Mother" from Earnest in Love.
"Light My Candle"- RENT. It's a bit humorous, and it's just a great song.
Therapy from tick tick BOOM

Agree on Tennis Song from CoA (currently in my cd player).
I also love "Everything I Got (Belongs To You)" from By Jupiter. It's one of those "love to hate you" songs.
This song is darkly funny but:

Almost anything from "I love you, you're perfect"

Technically it's for two guys, but I don't see why it matters.
"F*CK you lady, that's what stairs are for..." hehe
It's really old but
"Friendship"
and of course
Bosum Buddies" Yes I know it's two women but is there really anything in the lyric that id's gender?

I think "follow your heart" from urinetown is a great duet song.

"Tear Jerk" is definitely the funniest. But only if the two people performing it are a good actor and actress. Otherwise, the audience will miss the point.
I like "Come up to my place"--On the Town

I happen to like "I remember that" from Saturday Night. It's really the second half that's funny, but who cares. It's really sweet anyway.
