1. 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, 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.
2. 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 a built a home, sweet home.
With a couple of kids running in the yard, of Desmond and Molly Jones.
3. 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 a built a home, sweet home.
With a couple of kids running in the yard, of Desmond and Molly Jones.
4. Happy ever after in the market place,

Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, bra!

If you want some fun, take obladi-oblada.
