Sondheim, "There's Always a Woman" -from Anyone Can Whistle, has hilarious lyrics. Might be tough finding the music though. I have the original score and its not in there, I believe it was cut.

I posted something a while back too about this and got some responses. Can't remember them all now, but you can search. Someone suggested looking at the Alice Ripley/Emily Skinner duet CDS. They have some great songs.

LOL! The suggestions in this thread are really hilarious especially since the OP asked for songs that were "happy / funny / easy-to-listen-to songs..." and there's everything from Sondheim, Brecht, Weill and CARRIE to obscure Kander & Ebb flops and "Tell Him" by Barbra Streisand and Celine Dion, possibly the worst song ever written. Just an observation, LOL.

The "Bosom Buddies" and the GREASE, GUYS & DOLLS and GYPSY selections are more like it.

To answer the OP, look through all the old RODGERS & HAMMERSTEIN music books at your local library. I can think of fifteen or twenty off the top of my head. Stephen Schwartz has written quite a few female duets and such things and someone mentioned "When You Believe" which may be a nice song for you.

I was the one who suggested checking the song lists of the Skinner and Ripley CDs. Some examples:

I Know Him So Well
Ohio
If Momma Was Married
Perfect Strangers (from "Drood")
Friendship (not specifically for women, but Lucy and Ethel made it work)

"Anything You Can Do, I Can Do Better"

Is that from Annie Get Your Gun? Drawing a blank.

"No Me Diga" - In The Heights. Although it's written for more than 2 women.

"The More You Ruv Someone"- Avenue Q. has funny lyrics.

Someone already said it - "What You Don't Know About Women" from City of Angels. Very smart lyrics and lots of fun.
