[Chorus]
Nothing's gonna harm you
Not while I'm around
Nothing's gonna harm you, no, sir
Not while I'm around
[Verse 1]
Demons are prowling
Everywhere
Nowadays
I'll send 'em howling
I don't care—
I got ways
[Verse 2]
Of course, you do
What a sweet, affectionate child it is
[Refrain]
No one's gonna hurt you
No one's gonna dare
Others can desert you—
Not to worry
Whistle, I'll be there
[Verse 3]
Demons'll charm you
With a smile
For a while
But in time
Nothing can harm you
Not while I'm around
[Verse 4]
What is this foolishness? What are you talking 'bout?
[Bridge]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Verse 5]
Now, Toby, dear
Haven't we had enough foolish chatter?
Let's just sit nice and quiet for a bit
[Chorus]
Nothing's gonna harm you
Not while I'm around
Nothing's gonna harm you
Darling
Not while I'm around
[Verse 6]
Demons are prowling
Everywhere
Nowadays
I'll send 'em howling
I don't care
[Verse 7]
Boys and their fancies!
What will we think of next?
[Refrain]
No one's gonna hurt you
No one's gonna dare
Others can desert you—
Not to worry
Whistle, I'll be there
[Outro]
Demons'll charm you
With a smile
For a while
But in time
Nothing's gonna harm you
Not while I'm around
