Swarm round the hive sweet honey bee Swarm to and fro just as ya please Youre always welcome with your queen Everybody needs a little sanctuary Everybody needs a little sanctuary
Some men will seek it in the church Only to find it on the sea Or where pay women walk the streets All of them seeking sanctuary All of them seeking sanctuary All of them seeking sanctuary
Ooh ooh ooh
I only hope I can provide That which you truly gave to me You never made me stand outside You always offered sanctuary You always offered sanctuary You always offered sanctuary
Ooh ooh ooh [one more - spoken]
You always offered sanctuary You always offered sanctuary You always offered sanctuary You always offered sanctuary [a scrap of a phrase - spoken]
