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 their life goes on.
Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da, life goes on, Bra,
La-la how their life goes on.
Desmond takes a trolley to the jeweller’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 their life goes on.
Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da, life goes on, Bra,
La-la how their 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.
Yes, Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da, life goes on, Bra,
La-la how their life goes on.
Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da, life goes on, Bra,
La-la how their 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,
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.
Yeah, Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da, life goes on, Bra,
La-la how their life goes on.
Yeah, Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da, life goes on, Bra,
La-la how their life goes on.
And if you want some fun, take Ob-La-Di-Bla-Da.
