Desmond has a 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 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 jeweller's stores
 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 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 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 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's a singer 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
 Ob-la-di ob-la-da
