Not While I'm Around (1978)
(wm) Stephen Sondheim (I) Musical: Sweeney Todd by Angela Landbury and Ken Jenning.
Not to worry. Not to worry, I may not be smart, but I ain’t dumb.
Let me do it, Put me to it, Show me something I can overcome.
Not to worry, mum.

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...

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...

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...
