Not While I'm Around

You know, mum?

There's nothin' I wouldn't do for you

If there was a monster, an ogre, or anything bad like that 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

What was bad!

And what might be luring you

All unbeknownst

Deemed to evil deeds-like

Dear 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 '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

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, 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 '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
