Not While I'm Around
You know, mum?
There's nothin' I wouldn't do for you
If there was a monster, an ogre, or anything bad like that was after you
I'd rip it apart with my bare fists, I would
What a sweet child, it is
Even if it was just a man
A man, dear?
A man
What was bad!
And what might be luring you
All unbeknownst
Deemed to evil deeds-like
Dear what is this? What are you talking about?
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 it 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
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 would never
Hide a thing from you
Like some
Now, let's stop all this foolish chatter and just sit here, nice and quiet
Nothing's gonna harm you
Not while I'm around
Nothing's gonna harm you, Toby
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
There's nothin' I wouldn't do for you
If there was a monster, an ogre, or anything bad like that was after you
I'd rip it apart with my bare fists, I would
What a sweet child, it is
Even if it was just a man
A man, dear?
A man
What was bad!
And what might be luring you
All unbeknownst
Deemed to evil deeds-like
Dear what is this? What are you talking about?
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 it is!
No one's gonna hurt you
