"Nobody's Problems" is the closing song written by the Sherman Brothers from the film Bedknobs and Broomsticks. It was sung by Miss Eglantine Price after Professor Emelius Brown left to go back to London. The song was removed from the original release, but was later restored for the 1996 Special Edition of the film. Originally, the song had included a version to be sung by the children to try and cheer themselves up. Their version was never recorded or filmed, however. Angela Lansbury recorded her vocals to an accompaniment on piano for the orchestra to added later. But since it was cut before the film opened, the orchestrations were never added until the 1996 reconstruction of the film. When the Special Edition debuted at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences theater, "Nobody's Problems" received a standing ovation.
Lyrics[]
No one to miss if he's gone too long
No one to comfort if things go wrong
That's how I want it to be
Nobody's problems for me
No one who needs me to ease his pain
No one to call me his ball and chain
Nobody's problems for me
And that's how I choose it to be
No problems and strife
In this life that I lead
No tempers to humor
No hungers to feed
No one to warm when the winter's cold
No one to pamper; no hand to hold
And that's how I choose it to be
No, nobody's problems for me
