In "The Army of the Just" in Tenderloin, sin is the enemy:
"To the pure shall the victory be given
From this earth shall iniquity be driven..."
There are football cheers aginst the foe in A Family Affair and All American.
Carnival! and Destry Rides Again have songs entitled "I Hate Him." Kiss Me, Kate has "I Hate Men." La Strada has "I Don't Like You."
Then, there's the very funny "Cherry Pies Ought to Be You" in Out of This World in which Charlotte Greenwood and David Burns exchange insults.

--"There's Always a Woman" from *Anyone Can Whistle*
--"Could I Leave You" from *Follies*
--sections from "At the Ballet" from *A Chorus Line*

Those are just off the top of my head. Any of them fit what you're looking for? If not, I'll search my music collection a little more deeply. :)

I have been looking at the word 'Cinderella' all day.
"Stepsister's Lament"; take the duet and make it a solo.
Play it for real and for keeps. The realer it is, the flat-out funnier it is. Think if Nell Carter had ever played these roles. She didn't but imagine what she might have done.

Two of my suggestions have already been mentioned: "Anything You Can Do" (Annie Get Your Gun) and "Just You Wait" (My Fair Lady").
Other suggestions: "Show Me," "Without You," and "Why Can't a Woman" (all from "My Fair Lady," in which the two main characters spend most of the show furious with each other ... until they realize they're in love, which is why I think Higgins has to be reasonably young and sexy, but that's for another thread). 
Still others: "How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria" (The Sound of Music); "Aldonza" (her soliloquy, from "Man of La Mancha"); Anna's song, whose name I've forgotten, about her fury with the way the King treats his family and servants (The King and I); "He had it Coming" (Chicago).
I've noticed that many "dislike" songs are sung by female voices, so I hope that's what you're looking for.

And the very cute "I'm in Love With Miss Logan," (the second part of it) from New Faces of '52.

Isn't Charlie actually confessing his love for Frank in Franklin Shepard Inc.? At least for the Frank he used to know. I think there are layers of subtext in that song.
