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 trolly to the jewellers stores,

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 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.
