Imelda Staunton Not While I'm Around song lyrics
Feat James McConville Imelda Staunton Not While I'm Around song lyrics
Nothing's gonna harm you,
Not while I'm around
(Lovett)
'Course not, dear, why should it?
(Toby)
Nothing's gonna harm you, no sir,
Not while I'm around
(Lovett)
What d'ya mean, a man?
(Toby)
Demons are prowling everywhere
Nowadays
(Lovett)
So they are, dear
(Toby)
I'll send 'em howling
I don't care, I've got ways
(Lovett)
'Course you do
What a sweet, affectionate child it is
(Toby)
No one's gonna hurt you,
No one's gonna dare
(Lovett)
I know what Toby deserves
(Toby)
Others can desert you
Not to worry, whistle I'll be there
(Lovett)
'Ere, have a nice bonbon
(Toby)
Demons'll charm you with a smile
For a while
But in time
Nothing can harm you, not while I'm around
(Lovett)
What is this foolishness?
(Toby)
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, ma'm
Being close and being clever
Ain't like being true
I don't need to, I will never hide a thing from you
Like some...
(Lovett)
Right, now that's enough foolish chatter
Come on, let's just sit down nice and quiet for a bit
Here, look what I've got for you
(Toby)
That! That's Signor Pirelli's purse...
(Lovett)
Wha- what? what's that, dear?
(Toby)
That proves it, what I've been thinking!
That's his purse!
(Lovett)
Oh you silly boy, this is just a silly little something Mr. T gave me for me birthday!
(Toby)
Mr. Todd gave it to yer? And how did he get it!?
(Lovett)
Bought it, dear!
In a pawn shop!
Oh, come on
Nothing's gonna harm you,
Not while I'm around
Nothing's gonna harm you, darlin'
Not while I'm around
(Toby)
You don't understand!
2 quid was in it, 2 or 3,
The guv'nor giving up his purse with 2 quid?
Not for a minute, don't you see?
It was in Mr. Todd's parlour that the guv'nor disappeared!
(Lovett)
Boys and their fancies!
What will you think of next?
Here, look, look, at your lovely muffler,
How warm it's going to keep you when the nights draw in
And it's so becoming on you
(Toby)
Demons'll charm you with a smile
For a while
But in time
Nothing's gonna harm you, not while I'm around
