Perry Como Lyrics
Not While I'm Around Lyrics
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!
~ from "Sweeney Todd, The Demon Barber of Fleet Street"
