HELP-Need comedic female performance vocal piece for Cabaret Series!!

Hey guys,

Can you help me out? I need a great performance style comedic musical number to perform in a Cabaret in February.

Not Adele's Lament or Priviledge To Pee.

I am a belter up to an E. I am looking for something that will blow the socks of everyone. Pretty long with a story. Any suggestions?

If all the world's a stage, I want my own damn dressing room.

Dance Ten, Looks Three from A Chorus Line (although it's not that long)

Over the Moon from Rent

Shy from once upon a mattress is funny.
"`I grow old... I grow old... I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled.` What does that mean, Mr. Marlowe?" "Not a bloody thing. It just sounds good." He smiled. "That is from the `Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock.` Here's another one. `In the room women come and go/Talking of Michael Angelo.' Does that suggest anything to you, sir?" "Yeah -- it suggests to me that the guy didn't know very much about women." "My sentiments exactly, sir. Nonetheless I admire T. S. Eliot very much."

I have done Dance Ten Looks Three. In fact I played Val in High School 17 years ago. Oh my God. Did I say 17 years? Yikes. I also played Winnifred from Once Upon A Mattress 16 years ago in High School and about 6 years ago again.

Keep em coming. I need something by tomorrow night. Something totally original.

What about "(Not)Getting Married Today" or "Little Things You Do Together"? I agree with "100 Easy Ways," that's not expected I think. You could also sing "My New Philosophy" if you could find someone to play the other person.
"Some people can thrive and bloom living life in a living room, that's perfect for some people of one hundred and five. But I at least gotta try, when I think of all the sights that I gotta see, all the places I gotta play, all the things that I gotta be at"

I Can Cook Too from On The Town

Matchmaker, Matchmaker; get the music for this trio and figure how to reduce it for one singer playing all three parts. This might also work for Maria from The Sound of Music as well as other multi-role songs.

This joke will really only work if there is a distinct voice for each of the characters.
