  • Nothing's gonna harm you, not while I'm around
    No one's gonna hurt you, not while I'm around

    Demons are prowling everywhere, nowadays
    I'll send 'em howling
    I've 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

    Demons'll charm you with a smile, for a while
    But in time
    Nothing can harm you
    Not while I'm around Writer/s: Stephen Sondheim
