Not While I'm Around

Stephen Sondheim 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 'em 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, ma'am...

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...

MSR. LOVETTS
Nothing's gonna harm you, not while I'm around.
Nothing's gonna harm you, darlin',
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...
