Not While I'm Around
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 with my bare fists, so 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 into his evil deeds, like
Here, 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 them 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 too wary
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
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 them 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 nothing I wouldn't do for you
