Lyrics:

Desmond has a barrow in the market place
Molly is the singer in the 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 jewellers 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
year 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,
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
year 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 she 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 wanna have fun

Take ob-la-di-bla-da
