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's store
Buys a 20 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 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, 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 (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, he's the 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,' hey!
