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, brah
La-la-la-la, life goes on
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah
La-la-la-la, life goes on
Desmond takes a trolley to the jewelers 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, brah
La-la-la-la, life goes on
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah
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 shes the singer with the band
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah
La-la-la-la, life goes on
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah
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
Molly lets the children lend a hand 
Desmond stays at home and does his pretty face
And in the evening she still sings it with the band
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah
La-la-la-la, life goes on
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah
La-la-la-la, life goes on
And if you want some fun
Take Ob-la-di-bla-da
Oh!
