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

What is this foolishness? What are you talking 'bout?

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

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 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 will charm you with a smile, for a while
But in time, nothing's gonna harm you
Not while I'm around
