Tobias:
You know, mum, there's nothing I wouldn't do for you.
If there was a monster or an ogre or anything bad like
that was after you, I'd rip it apart my bare firsts,
I would.
Mrs. Lovett:
What a sweet child it is.
Tobias:
Or even if it was just a man.
Mrs. Lovett
A man, dear?
Tobias:
A man wot was bad, wot might be luring you all
wnbeknownst into his evil deeds, like.
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 prowing
Everywhere
Nowdays.
Mrs. Lovett:
And so they are, dear.
Tobias:
I'll send'em howling,
I don't care.
I got ways.
Mrs. Lovett:
Of course you do. What a sweet, affectionate child it is.
Tobias:
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 cham you
With a smile for a while, but in time,
Nothing can harm you,
Not while I'm around.
Mrs. Lovett:
What is this foolishness? What're you talking about?
Tobias:
Little things wot I've been thinking and wondering about.
It's him, you see- it's Mr. todd. Oh, I know you fancy him,
But men ain't like women, they ain't like wot you can trust,
as I've lived and learned.
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?
Let's just sit nice and quiet for a bit. I know what Toby deserve,
a nice bon bon, here.
Tobias:
That! That's signor Pirelli's purse!
Mrs. Lovett:
What's that? What was That, dear?
Tobias:
That Proves it! What I've been Thinking. That's his purse.
Mrs. Lovett:
Sily boy! It's just a silly little something Mr. T.
gave you for my birthday.
Tobias:
Mr. Todd gave it to you? And how did he get it?
How did he get it?
Mrs. Lovett:
Bought it, dear. In the Pawnshop, dear. come on now.
Nothing's gonna harm you,
Not while I'm around!
Nothing's gonna harm you, darling,
Not while I'm around.
Tobias:
You don't was in it, Two or three-
The guvnor giving up his purse- with two quid in it?
Not for a minute!
Don't you see?
It was in Mr. Todd's Parlor that the guvnor disappeared.
Mrs. Lovett:
Boys and their fancies! Here, dear. sit here by your Aunt
Nellie like a good boy and at your lovely muffler.
How warm it's going to keep you when the days draw in.
and it's so becoming on you.
Tobias:
Demons'll cham you
With a smile for a while,
But in time,
Nothing's gonna harm you,
Not while I'm around!
