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 trolley to the jeweler’s stores Buys a twenty-carat golden ring Takes it back to Molly waiting at the door And when 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’s a singer 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
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, 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
