Not While I'm Around

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

What is this foolishness? What are you talking about?

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, Toby, dear. Haven't we had enough foolish chatter? Let's just sit nice and quiet for a bit. 

(sung)

Nothing's gonna harm you

Not while I’m around

Nothing's gonna harm you

Darling

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
