Lyrics
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 wot 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 wot was bad and wot 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 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 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.
(sung)
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?
