JUDY COLLINS
"Not While I'm Around"
(Stephen Sondheim)

[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 them 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

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

Nothing's gonna harm you
Not while I'm around
Nothing's gonna harm you, darling
Not while I'm around

Demons'll charm you
With a smile
For a while
But in time
Nothing's gonna harm you
Not while I'm
Around
