The only prerecorded track I can recall from the original Broadway production (remember Willie and Sam don't have the money to play the jukebox -- and Hallie is afraid to take any money from the till because his mother always counts it -- until the very end when Willie decides to use his bus fare and just walk home so he and Sam can have one final dance) was Sarah Vaughan's "Little Man (You've Had Busy Day)" which you can find on her first album with Count Basie from the 60s (I think).

Just checked. It's from 1961 and still in print:

Also, I know Sam sings "You're the cream in my coffee" at one point. It was a very popular song from the 20s -- if you need a copy of it get an idea of the melody, I'm sure there are hundreds of recordings of it out there.
