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, bro
La la how their life goes on
Ob la di ob la da life goes on, bro
La la how their life goes on

Desmond takes a trolly 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

Ob la di ob la da life goes on, bro
La la how their life goes on
Ob la di ob la da life goes on, bro
La la how their 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, bro
La la how their life goes on
Yeah, ob la di ob la da life goes on, bro
La la how their 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

Hey, happy ever after in the market place
Molly lets the children lend a hand
Desmond stays at home and does his pretty face
And in the evening she's a singer with the band

Ob la di ob la da life goes on, bro
La la how their life goes on
Ob la di ob la da life goes on, bro
La la how their life goes on

And if you want some fun
Take ob la di bla da
