Desmond has his 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 bra
La la how the life goes on
Ob-la-di Ob-la-da life goes on bra
La la how their life goes on
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
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 their life goes on, yeah
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 singsit with the band, yeah
Ob-la-di Ob-la-da life goes on bra
La la how the life goes on
Hey, Ob-la-di Ob-la-da life goes on bra
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, yeah
Ob-la-di Ob-la-da life goes on bra
La la how the life goes on,
Yeah, Ob-la-di Ob-la-da life goes on bra
La la how their life goes on
And if you want some fun take Ob-la-di a Ob-la-da
