Not While I'm Around Songtext
von Ken Jennings

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
