OB-LA-DI, OB-LA-DA

Desmond has a barrow in the marketplace

Molly is a singer in the band

Desmond says to Molly, "Girl, I like your face"

And Molly says this as she's taking him by hand

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

Desmond takes a trolley to a jewellery store

Buys a 20 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, 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

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, 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
