Desmond has his barrow
in the market place
Molly is the singer
in a band
Desmond says to Molly
"Girl I like your face"
and Molly says this
as she takes him
by the hand
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da
life goes on brah!
La-la how the life
goes on
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da
life goes on brah!
La-la how the life
goes on
Desmond takes a trolley
to the jewellery store
buys a twenty carat
golden ring (ring!)
Takes it back to Molly
waiting at the door
and as he gives it to her
she begins to sing (sing!)
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da
life goes on brah!
La-la how the life
goes on
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da
life goes on brah!
La-la how the life
goes on
In a couple of years
they have built a home
sweet home
With a couple of kids
running in the yard
of Desmond and
Molly Jones
Happy ever after
in the market place
Desmond lets the
children lend a hand
Molly stays at home
and does her pretty face
and in the evening
she still sings it
with the band
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da
life goes on brah!
La-la how the life
goes on
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da
life goes on brah!
La-la how the life
goes on
In a couple of years
they have built a home
sweet home
With a couple of kids
running in the yard
of Desmond and
Molly Jones
Yeah happy ever after
in the market place
Molly lets the
children lend a hand
Desmond stays at home
and does his pretty face
and in the evening
she's a singer
with the band
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da
life goes on brah!
La-la how the life
goes on
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da
life goes on brah!
La-la how the life
goes on
And if you want
some fun
Take ob-la-di-bla-da
