Performer Marmalade
Title Ob la di, ob la da
Lyrictext

Ob la di ob la da
Life goes on, bro
La la, how the life goes on

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, bro
La la, how the life goes on

Ob la di ob la da
Life goes on, bro
La la, how the life goes on

Desmond takes a trolly to the jeweller'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, bro
La la, how the life goes on

Ob la di ob la da
Life goes on, bro
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 still singin' with the band

Ob la di ob la da
Life goes on, bro
La la, how the life goes on

Ob la di ob la da
Life goes on, bro
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 (Desmond and Molly)

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, yeah

Ob la di ob la da
Life goes on, bro
La la, how the life goes on

Ob la di ob la da

Life goes on, bro
La la, how the life goes on

And if you want some time
Say ob la di ob la da
Hey!
