Desmond has a barrow in the marketplace
Molly is a singer in the band
Desmond says to Molly, "Girl, I like your face"
And Molly says this as she's taking him by hand
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da
Life goes on, yeah
La, la, la, la life goes on
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da
Life goes on, yeah
La, la, la, la life goes on
Desmond takes a trolley to a jewellery store
Buys a 20 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, yeah
La, la, la, la life goes on
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da
Life goes on, yeah
La, la, la, la 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, yeah
La, la, la, la life goes on
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da
Life goes on, yeah
La, la, la, la life goes on
