Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Desmond has a barrow in the marketplace
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
[Verse 2]
"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
[Verse 3]
Desmond takes the trolly to the jewelry 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
[Verse 4]
"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
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
Happy-ever-after in the market place
Demond let's the children lend a hand
Molly stays at home and does her pretty face
And in the evening she's still singin' with the band
[Verse 7]
"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"
Li-li-li-li-life goes on
[Verse 8]
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
[Verse 9]
Happy-ever-after in the market place
Molly let's the children lend a hand
Desmond stays at home and does his pretty face
And in the evening she's still singin' with the band
[Verse 10]
"Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, yeah"
La-la-la-la life goes on (Everybody sing it)
"Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, yeah"
La-la-la-la life goes on (Everybody)
"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"
