Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street the Musical - Not While I'm Around Lyrics
TOBIAS:
You know, mum, there's nothing I wouldn't do for you.
If there was a monster or an ogre
or anything bad like that wot was after you,
I'd rip it apart with my bare fists, I would.
MRS. LOVETT:
What a sweet child it is.
TOBIAS:
Even if it was just a man...
MRS. LOVETT:
A man, dear?
TOBIAS:
A man wot was bad and wot might be luring
you all unbeknownst into his evil deeds, like.
MRS. LOVETT:
Here, what is this? What are you talking about?
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.
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 won't never
Hide a thing from you,
Like some.
MRS. LOVETT:
Now, let's stop all this foolish chatter
and just sit here nice and quiet.
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.
