Desmond has his 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, brah!
La la how the life goes on
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah!
La la how the life goes on
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, brah!
La la how the life goes on
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah!
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 (ha, ha, ha, ha, ha)
Happy ever after in the market place
Molly lets the children lend a hand
Desmond stays at home and does her pretty face
And in the evening, she still sings it with the band
Yes!
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah!
La la how the life goes on
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah!
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 (ha, ha, ha, ha, ha)
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
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah!
La la how the life goes on
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah!
La la how the life goes on
And if you want some fun
Take Ob-la-di-bla-da
