Ob la di ob la da
Life goes on, bro
La la, how life goes on
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 the life goes on
Ob la di, ob la da
Life goes on, bro
La la, how the life goes on
Desmond takes a trolly to the j**eller'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 the life goes on
Ob la di, ob la da
Life goes on, bro
La la, how the 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 his pretty face
And in the evening she's the singer with the band.
Ob la di, ob la da
Life goes on, bro
La la, how the life goes on
Ob la di, ob la da
Life goes on, bro
La la, how the 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 (Desmond and Molly)
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 he's the singer with the band.
Ob la di, ob la da
Life goes on, bro

Ob la di, ob la da
Life goes on, bro

And if you want some time
Say ob la di ob la da
