Not While I'm Around - Stephen Sondheim

Toby:

Nothing’s gonna harm you

Not while I’m around

Nothing’s gonna harm you

No sir, not while I’m around

Demons are prowling everywhere

Nowadays

I’ll send them howling

I don’t care

I got ways

No one’s gonna hurt you

No one’s gonna dare

Others can desert you

Not to worry

Whistle I’ll be there

Demons’ll charm you with a smile

For a while

But in time

Nothing can harm you

Not while I’m around

Not to worry

Not to worry

I may not be smart

But I ain’t dumb

I can do it Put me to it

Show me something I can overcome

Not to worry, Mum

Being close and being clever

Ain’t like being true

I don’t need to I would never

Hide a thing from you

Like some.

Mrs Lovett:

Nothing’s gonna harm you

Not while I’m around

Nothing’s gonna harm you

Darling, not while I’m around

Toby:

Demons’ll charm you with a smile

For a while

But in time

Nothing’s gonna harm you

Not while I’m around
