What You Been Growing The Parliaments

[Verse 1]
I once had a girl, or rather, she had me
I was one among many, or at least, I seemed to be
Well, I read an old quotation in a book just yesterday
Said, "You gonna reap just what you sow, the debts you make, you have to pay"

[Chorus]
Hey, hey, hey, girl
Hey, girl
Hey, hey, hey
What you been growing
Is what you been sowing

[Verse 2]
Mary, Mary, quite contrary
How does your garden grow?
Mary, Mary, quite contrary
Remember you reap what you sow
I found a [?]
You think you [?] but you only [?] yourself
When you base your life on credit and your loving days are done
Checks you signed with a-love and kisses, later come back signed, "Insufficient funds"

[Chorus]
Hey, hey, hey, girl
Hey, girl
Hey, hey, hey
What you been growing
Is what you been sowing
