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]



Ooh ooh ooh (ah ah)
