Desmond has a barrow in the marketplace
Molly is the singer in a band
Desmond say 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, Yea Yea
La la la life goes on
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da
Life goes on, Yea Yea
La la la Life goes on
Desmond takes a trolley to the jewelers 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 Yea Yea
La la la life goes on
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da
Life goes on, Yea Yea
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, Yea Yea
La la la life goes on
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da
Life goes on, Yea Yea
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, Yea Yea
La la la life goes on
Ob-la-di, ob-la -da
Life goes on, Yea Yea
La la la life goes on
And if you want some fun
Sing ob-la-di, bla-da yea
