Desmond had 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 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 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 - yeah

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 he 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

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 g
