[Toby]
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
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, ma'am
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
[Mrs. Lovetts]
Nothing's gonna harm you, not while I'm around
Nothing's gonna harm you, darlin'
Not while I'm around
[Toby]
Demons'll charm you with a smile, for a while
But in time
Nothing's gonna harm you
Not while I'm around
