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
Lala how the life goes on
Ob la di, ob la da, life goes on, brah
Lala how the life goes on
Desmond takes a trolley to the jeweller 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
Lala how the life goes on
Ob la di, ob la da, life goes on, brah
Lala 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 a singer with the band
Ob la di, ob la da, life goes on, brah
Lala how the life goes on
Ob la di, ob la da, life goes on, brah
Lala 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 the singer with the band
Ob la di, ob la da, life goes on, brah
Lala how the life goes on
Ob la di, ob la da, life goes on, brah
Lala how the life goes on
And if you want some fun
take Ob la di bla da
