For some reason, I was thinking about this last night and giggling. What are some of the great bawdy numbers in musicals? Examples:
"Bang!" (Cut from A Little Night Music)
"He Plays the Violin" (1776)
You Can Be As Loud as the Hell You Want (Ave Q)

"Dead Girl Walking", Heathers. I don't think the lyrics are that bad, but man those stage directions don't hide much. Plus I've heard some productions really push the moaning for the last bit of the song.

"I Never Do Anything Twice". (Technically from a film but heard in SIDE BY SIDE BY SONDHEIM.)
It might be the only successful comedy song SS ever wrote about sex (okay, maybe the second after "Bang" re the OP.)

Everybody’s Girl from Steel Pier
Men and me are like pianos: when they get upright, I feel grand!
Marie: Don't be in such a hurry about that pretty little chippy in Frisco.
Tony: Eh, she's a no chip!

Just remembering you've had an "and"
When you're back to "or"
Makes the "or" mean more than it did before

Id argue that contact is very sexual, but not raunchy - similar to touch me from spring awakening.
However, the b***h of living from spring awakening would fit the bill

I think "I Can't Say No" from Oklahoma! is pretty raunchy.

The Heat is On in Saigon from Miss Saigon has some pretty raunchy lines.

Here are the lyrics for "But In The Morning, No" by Cole Porter Du Barry Was Lady (1939) Notice the line, "Do you do double entry, dear?"

Good call on Cole Porter. Kiss Me Kate has a few winners, not straight up raunch but very edgy innuendo for its time.
Brush Up Your Shakespeare: “If your baby is pleading for pleasure, let her sample your measure for measure; if she says she won’t buy it or TIKE it, let her ‘tike’ it, what’s more, As You Like It!”(that wasn’t in the current revival, though.) “If she says your behavior is heinous, kick her right in the Coriolanus!”
Where is the Life That Late I Led: “And lovely Lisa, where are you, Lisa? You gave a new meaning to the Leaning Tower of Pisa.”
“Grease” isn’t terribly raunchy but has a few lines that should make anyone think twice before letting middle schoolers perform the songs. (My summer camp ran into this problem when I was 12 or so.) “Greased Lightning”, anyone?
Also, “Garlic” from “Dance of the Vampires” needs some kind of award for awkward raunch.
Another day, another dollar is the reality of my mentality. Otherwise, don't even bother.- TLC

I suggest that "The Miller's Son" from ALNM is about as raunchy as it gets: Excerpts:
It's a wink and a wiggle and a giggle in the grass
And I'll trip the light fandango,
A pinch and a diddle in the middle of what passes by.
It's a very short road
From the pinch and the punch
To the paunch and the pouch
And the pension.
It's a push and a fumble and a tumble in the sheets
And I'll foot the highland fancy,
There are mouths to be kissed
Before mouths to be fed,
And there's many a tryst
And there's many a bed
To be sampled and seen
In the meanwhile.And a girl has to celebrate what passes by.
It's a rip in the bustle and a rustle in the hay
And I'll pitch the quick fantastic,
With flings of confetti and my petticoats away up high.
It's a very short way
From the fling that's for fun
To the thigh pressing un-
Der the table.
It's a very short day
Till you're stuck with just one
Or it has to be done
On the sly.

More strong innuendo than raunchy, but I'd add "Push Da Button" from The Color Purple to this list.

"Tom, Dick, and Harry" from Kiss Me Kate, especially when they repeat the word, "dick" over and over that becomes a bit risque to all the dirty minds out there." A diga dick, a diga dick, etc.
