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!
