Desmond had 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 jeweler's 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 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 - yeah
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
Molly lets the children lend a hand
Desmond stays at home and does his pretty face
And in the evening he 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 want some fun
Take ob-la-dib-la-da
