Not While I’m Around Lyrics by Gaten Matarazzo, Annaleigh Ashford

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, spoken]
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, spoken]
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, spoken]
Now, Toby, dear. Haven’t we had enough foolish chatter? Let's just sit nice and quiet for a bit. 
(sung)
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, spoken]
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
