"I Just Can't Wait To See Her With Clothes On." Orson Bean sang it in SUBWAYS ARE FOR SLEEPING.

Virtually any song from LITTLE ME, the 1962 musical with music by Cy Coleman and witty lyrics by Carolyn Leigh, starring the hilarious Sid Caesar and Virginia Martin.

Based on a quick review of my collection, and drawing on some less obvious titles, here are a few of the songs that make me personally laugh the hardest.

"He Had Refinement" from "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn"

"Guv'ment" from "Big River"

"It's Enough To Make a Lady Fall in Love" and "Butler in the Abbey" from "Darling of the Day"

"What Do We Do? We Fly!" from "Do I Hear a Waltz?"

"I'm Breaking Down" and "A Marriage Proposal" from "The Falsettos"

"No-one'll Ever Love You" and "I Can't Be In Love" from "Goldilocks"

"Story of My Life" from "Hello Again"

"Whatever That May Be", "Vive la Virtue" and "Never Trust a Virgin" from "The Happiest Girl in the World"

"The Middle Class" from "Jacques Brel"

"You Poor Thing" from "Juno"

"Intermission Talk" from "Me and Juliet"

"Femininity" from "Oh Captain"

"When We're Sixty-Five" from "On a Clear Day You Can See Forever"

"She's a Nut" from "On the Twentieth Century"

"Man to Man Talk" from "Once Upon a Mattress"

"They Couldn't Compare To You" and "I Sleep Easier Now" from "Out of This World"

"Please Hello" from "Pacific Overtures"

"What's Goin' On Here?" from "Paint Your Wagon"

"A Lopsided Bus" and "Bum's Opera" from "Pipe Dream"

"Sysiphus" from "Saturn Returns"

"A Trip to the Library" from "She Loves Me"

"A Great Big Bundle of Joy" from "Simply Heavenly"

"Everybody's Girl" from "Steel Pier"

"Capped Teeth and Caesar Salad" from "Tell Me On a Sunday"

"Shaw" from "The Frogs"

"An Old-Fashioned Love Story" from "The Wild Party"

"Cold" from "Whistle Down the Wind"

"Do We?" from "70, girls, 70"

Add to that all of the plot numbers from "Lucky Stiff", and (if you count unintentional humor) every single number in "Ankles Aweigh".

I've probably overloaded you with information, but I hope at least a few of these titles are of interest to you.

Great Big Stuff and Love is My Legs from Dirty Rotten Scoundrels

Deep Love from Young Frankenstein

Every single song from IN MY LIFE. The songs were so bad they were hilarious!
