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 brahhh
La la how the life goes on
Ob-la-di Ob-la-da life goes on brahhh
La la how the life goes on
Desmond takes a trolley to the jewelry store
Buys a twenty carot golden ring (Golden 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 brahhh
La la how the life goes on
Ob-la-di Ob-la-da life goes on brahhh
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 (Ha ha ha ha ha)
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 brahhh
La la how the life goes on
Ob-la di Ob-la-da life goes on brahhh
La la how the life goes on
