Not While I'm Around

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

Of course you do, what a sweet, affectionate child he is

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

What is this foolishness, what are you talking 'bout?

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 somehing I can overcome
Not to worry mum
Being close and being clever ain't like being true
I don't need to, I would never
Hide a thing from you
Like some

Now Toby, dear, haven't we had enough foolish chatter?
Let's just sit nice and quiet for a bit

Nothing's gonna harm you
Not while I'm around
Nothing's gonna harm you, darling
Not while I'm around
Demons are prowling everywhere
Nowadays
I'll send 'em howling
I don't care

Boys and their fancies
What will we think of next?

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's gonna harm you
Not while I'm around
