Lyrics: Stephen Sondheim
Music: Stephen Sondheim
"You know, ma'am, there's nothing I wouldn't do for you."
"If there was a monster, an ogre or anything bad like that what was after you"
"I'd rip it apart with my bare fists, I would."
"What a sweet child it is!"
"Even if it was just a man."
"A man, dear?"
"A man what was bad, and what might be luring you"
"All unbeknownst into his evils deeds, like."
"Here, what is this? What are you talking about?"
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
"Of course you do! What a sweet, affectionate child it is!"
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
"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, Toby
Not while I'm around
Demons are prowling everywhere
Nowadays
I'll send 'em howling
I don't care
"Boys and their fancies. What will we think of next?"
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
