Franco's reign in Spain* should see out the forties
*rain in Spain
Vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra
Salve, Salve Regina
Ad te clamamus exsules filii Eva
Ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes
O clemens O pia

Only glass
And her costumes unravel?
What if her coach is
Second class?
She at least gets to travel.
film soundtrack of A Little Night Music
(Gee it's nice to actually type SOUNDTRACK in a post!)

Not exactly cute, but very simple lyrics I've always loved:
"Beggar and millionaire,
everyone everywhere
moving to the ragtime."

Your missing miss is not the type to miss a misdemeanor.
Into the Woods:
But then what if he knew who you were when you know that you're not what he thinks that he wants?
Disney's Hercules:
And this perfect package packs a pair of pretty pecs.
Matilda:
But nobody else is gonna put it right for me.
Nobody but me is gonna change my story.
Sometimes you have to be a little bit naughty.

Flower Drum Song is another great source, and
I love to quote Annie whenever I'm heading into "big apple city".
Please keep them coming

You're the steppes of Russia,
You're the pants
On a Roxy usher.
***
Love is in the air
Quite clearly
People everywhere
Act queerly
Some are hasty, some are halted,
Some are simply somersaulted,
Love is going around.
***
She once was quite well read,
He once was intellectual,
No one's suspicious,
They're gonna be all right.
She's nice and sweet and dead,
He's tall and ineffectual,
They look delicious,
They're gonna be all right.
...
Sometimes she drinks in bed,
Sometimes he's homosexual,
But why be vicious?
They keep it out of sight.
Good show,
They're gonna be all right.

What we have here is an ethical dilemma
'Less I help him get the mask removed, he doesn't have a prayer
True the gun was never fired
But the way events transpired,
I could finish him with simple laissez faire
Oh, and Reefer Madness is full of little rhyme gems that make me smile! Like "Yes we're waiting for your business in this carnal carnivale/Take a one way ticket to the bacchanal."

"I'm your cocoa-butter bitch,
Not just cookie-cutter kitsch"
It's the alliteration that snagged me!

She keeps filling up the hut with rubbish like flowers and plants
And not only is it overcrowded it's loaded with ants.
She is definitely true intrusive, a nuisance and yet,
She's an interesting creature this Eve.
She's developing a strange new habit that doesn't make sense.
She's forever reaching out to touch me which makes me feel tense
She is definitely quite eccentric, a numbskull,and yet
She's an interesting creature this Eve.
Once I saw her standing by a hilltop, her head titled back, sunlight on her face, gazing at the flight of a bird.
And I saw at once that she was "beautiful", beautiful - yes that's the word.
There are animals around this garden more soothing than she
But there is nothing in the whole of Eden more pleasant to see.
If she'd only learn to keep her mouth shut one minute at a time
Why I believe I could possibly enjoy just watching..
This curiously interesting creature called Eve.
(There are more verses but these are my favorites)

Hey, rhododend! Courage, little friend.
Ev'rything'll end rhododandy.
Hurry! It's lovely up here!
Climb up geranium, it can't be fun subterran-ium
On the exterior, it's cheerier
RSVP peonies, pollinate the breeze,
Make the queen of bees hot as brandy
Push up azalea, don't be a failure!

SIDE SHOW: "Will I explode of all of my thoughts collide? / One minute brave, the next minute terrified / Are these feelings I have got to hide?"
[TITLE OF SHOW]: "Dancing in the backyard / kool-aid mustache and butterfly wings / hearing Andrea McArdle sing from the hi-fi in the den / I've been waiting my whole life to find a way back to then" (actually, I think all of the lyrics in this song are special and I find that each verse resonates with me in a different way)
HAIR: "Tell him Angela and I / don't want the two dollars back / just him"
FOLLIES: "I've some traits, I warn you / to which you'll have objections / I, too, have a cornucopia of imperfections"

We want four
We had none
We've got three
We need one
It takes two

Um...or Pat Suzuki.
The OP asked for "cute little lyric" as opposed to "favorite lyric," so I'll go with this one from Irving Berlin:
All alone
By the telephone,
Waiting for a ring,
A ting-a-ling.

Even now and then a bad one.
But if life were only moments,
Then you'd never know you had one!"
from "Moments in the Woods"
That always tickles me for some reason. First thing that came to mind.

Woody Allen heard Gershwin in the air
when he thought Manhattan
Well I’m not so impressed
I get like Philip Glass at best
(Actually i could fill a page with Adam Gwon lyrics...)

-- Chip On My Shoulder - Legally Blonde: The Musical.
"I don't have the time to cry, I'm too busy loving my name up on that list - kind of a cool ironic twist." -- So Much Better, Legally Blonde: The Musical.
"You use to so be 'eh' - a limp, lackluster, bore, but now you're changing into something I just can't ignore." -- History of Wrong Guys, Kinky Boots.
All of You Can't Stop the Beat from Hairspray, honestly, but I always loved the "Ever since we first saw the sun, it seems Von Tussle girls were always trying to please someone, but now we're gonna shake and shimmy and have some fun today" bit.
"I'm the girl to beat, the high school queen - seniors kiss my ass and I'm just fifteen. And soon the world will know her name, I'm raisin hell and I'm felon in a four foot frame." -- Killer Instinct, Bring It On.

Mandy
There's a minister handy
And it sure would be dandy
If we'd let him make a fee
So don't you linger
Here's the ring for your finger
Isn't it a humdinger?
Come along and let the wedding chimes
Bring happy times
For Mandy and me
-Irving Berlin
My mother's name was Mary
She was so good and true
Because her name was Mary
She called me Mary, too
She wasn't gay or airy
But plain as she could be
I hate to meet a fairy
Who calls herself Marie
-George M. Cohan.
