Nothin’s gonna harm you, not while I’m around!
Nothin’s gonna harm you, "No Sir!"
Not while I’m around!

Demons are prowling everywhere, nowadays,
I’ll send then 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 will charm you with a smile, for a while,
But in time, nothin’ can harm you,
Not while I’m around!

Demons will charm you with a smile, for a while,
But in time, nothin’s gonna harm you,
Not while I’m around!
Not while I’m around!

Words and Music by Stephen Sondheim, 1978
