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

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 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 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

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 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

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 want some fun

Take Ob-la-di-bla-da
