Lyrics:

Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on
Whoa
La, la, how the life goes on

Desmond has a barrow in the marketplace
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, whoa
La, la, how the life goes on
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, whoa
La, la, how the life goes on'

Desmond takes a trolley to the jeweler 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, whoa
La, la, how the life goes on
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, whoa
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 marketplace
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, no
La, la, how the life goes on
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, whoa
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 marketplace
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

'Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, whoa
La, la, how the life goes on
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, whoa
La, la, how the life goes on'

And if you want some jam
Say ob-la-di-bla-da
Yeah
