Take a look at my "Baritone Songs from Operettas, Opera-Bouffes, Ballad
Operas, Zarzuelas, and Musicals" page at:

All of these songs are appropriate for classically-trained lyric baritone.
If you want "fun", I'd suggest you consider the Gilbert & Sullivan songs
and the Edward German songs on that list.
