This isn't exactly what you're asking for but....do you think they might fit in an opera aira? If so, the soprano aria from Puccini's La Rondine would work (can't remember the title at the moment).
On actual cabaret style music, I think you could make Gershwin's "Someone to Watch Over Me" work. Or Rodgers and Hart's "Bewitched" (I think that character was an ex-"lady of the night").
(Personally, I have a problem with the theme and would decline to participate - not that I'd expect anyone else to do the same. Why should an institution of learning be glorifying prostitutes, as if using a eupemism made it any less degrading?)
