1. 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.

R: [: Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da life goes on
bra la la how the life goes on. :]

2. Desmond takes a trolley to the jeweller'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.
R: Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da 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.

3. 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.
R: Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da life goes on...
R: Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da life goes on...
*: In a couple of years...

4. 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.

*: And if you want some fun take Ob-La-Di-Bla-Da....
