Desmond has a barrow in the market place
Molly is the singer in the 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,
bra-la-la, how the life goes on
Ob-la-di ob-la-da, life goes on,
bra-la-la, how the life goes on
Desmond takes a trolley to the jewellers store
Buys a twenty carat golden ring
Takes it back to Molly waiting at the door
and as he gives it to her she begins to sing
Ob-la-di ob-la-da, life goes on,
bra-la-la, how the life goes on
Ob-la-di ob-la-da, life goes on,
bra-la-la, how the life goes on
In a couple of years they
have built a home sweet home
With a couple of kids runnig in the
year 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,
bra-la-la, how the life goes on
Ob-la-di ob-la-da, life goes on,
bra-la-la, how the life goes on
In a couple of years they
have built a home sweet home
With a couple of kids runnig in the
year of Desmond and Molly Jones
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 still sings it with the band
Ob-la-di ob-la-da, life goes on,
bra-la-la, how the life goes on
Ob-la-di ob-la-da, life goes on,
bra-la-la, how the life goes on
and if you wanna have fun
Take ob-la-di-bla-da
Take ob-la-di-bla-da
