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
La-la how the life goes on
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da life goes on brah
La-la how the life goes on
Desmond takes a trolley to the jewelry store
Buys a twenty carat golden ring (Bling!)
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
La-la how thr life goes on
Ob-la-di ob-la-da life goes on brah
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 brah
La-la how the life goes on
Ob-la-di ob-la-da life goes on brah
La-la how the life goes on
In a couple of years they have built
A home sweet home

Sing ob-la-di bla-da
