Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Desmond has a barrow in the marketplace

Molly is a 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, 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

[Verse 3]

Desmond takes a trolley to the jeweler's 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, 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

[Verse 5]

All right, 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 marketplace

Molly let's the children lend a hand

Desmond stays at home and does her pretty face

And in the evening, she's a singer in the band

[Verse 7]

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

[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 marketplace

Molly lets the children lend a hand

Desmond stays at home and does her pretty face

And in the evening, she's a singer in the band

[Verse 10]

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

[Verse 11]

And if you want some fun, sing ob-la-di, b-la-da
