Not While I'm Around

(专辑： Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street (2023 Broadway Cast Recording) - 2023)

[TOBIAS:]
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

[MRS. LOVETT:]
Of course, you do... What a sweet, affectionate child it is.

[TOBIAS:]
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

[MRS. LOVETT:]
What is this foolishness? What are you talking about?

[TOBIAS:]
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:]
Now, Toby, dear. Haven't we had enough foolish chatter? Let's just sit nice and quiet for a bit.

Nothing's gonna harm you
Not while I'm around
Nothing's gonna harm you
Darling
Not while I'm around

[TOBIAS:]
Demons are prowling
Everywhere
Nowadays
I'll send 'em howling
I don't care

[MRS. LOVETT:]
Boys and their fancies! What will we think of next?

[TOBIAS:]
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's gonna harm you
Not while I'm around
