Sweeney Todd - The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (Soundtrack)
COMPOSER AND LYRICIST STEPHEN SONDHEIM
Lyrics:
Tobias:
Seems like the Good Lord sent you for me.
Mrs. Lovett:
Ah, love, I felt quite the same way.
Tobias:
Listen to me, please.
You know there's nothing
I wouldn't do for you. Say, if there was someone around—
someone bad—only you didn't know it—
Mrs. Lovett:
What is this? What are you talking about?
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.
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 won't never
Hide a thing from you,
Like some.
Mrs. Lovett:
Now Toby, dear, haven't we had enough foolish chatter?
Here, how about I give you a shiny new penny
and you can go and get us some toffees?
Tobias:
That's Signor Pirelli's purse!
Mrs. Lovett:
No, it's not.
Just something Mr. T. give me for my birthday.
Tobias:
That proves it. We gotta go, ma'am—
we gotta find the Beadle and get the law here—
Mrs. Lovett:
Shhh, Toby. Hush, now, you're not going anywhere.
You just sit here nice and quiet, next to me.
That's right.
Nothing's gonna harm you,
Not while I'm around!
Nothing's gonna harm you, darling,
Not while I'm around.
Tobias:
Demons'll charm you
With a smile
For a while,
But in time,
Nothing's gonna harm you,
Not while I'm around.
