Need some jazz songs for a vocalist

Ok so, I would like to sing jazz in my schools' jazz combo. The combo leader has left it up to me to decide on a song. Soo...unfortunately, Round Midnight is too hard for the combo, which is probably my all time favorite jazz song. So is My Funny Valentine. And so is How High the Moon. Haha. (My friend recommended that one). Basically, is there something easy out there that's a good, fun jazz song to sing and play? Not that it will matter since you can transpose to any key, but I'm an alto with a range of D#/ E below middle C, all the way up to E/F above high C (the C above middle C. The reason I have slash marks is because sometimes I can go a bit lower, sometimes higher. I could actually probably sing to a low C on a good day, but yeahh...this is my comfortable range).

Something really functional (i.e. a lot of ii V I movement) would be quite easy for the group.

Some standards to consider would be Just Friends, Papermoon, Autumn Leaves, All the things you are, A-Train, They Can't Take That away from me, I've got the world on a string, St. Loius Blues

I could probably list a lot more, but that's a start to look at.
