Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Desmond has a barrow in the marketplace
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
[Chorus]
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da
Life goes on, brah
La-la, how their life goes on
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da
Life goes on, brah
La-la, how their life goes on
[Verse 2]
Desmond takes a trolley to the jeweler's store
Buys a twenty karat golden ring
Takes it back to Molly waiting at the door
And as he gives it to her, she begins to sing
[Chorus]
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da
Life goes on, brah
La-la, how their life goes on
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da
Life goes on, brah
La-la, how their life goes on, yeah
[Bridge]
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
[Verse 3]
Happy ever after in the marketplace
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
[Verse 4]
Yes, ob-la-di, ob-la-da
Life goes on, brah
La-la, how their life goes on
Yeah, ob-la-di, ob-la-da
Life goes on, brah
La-la, how their life goes on
[Bridge]
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
[Verse 5]
Hey, happy ever after in the marketplace
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
[Chorus]
Yeah, ob-la-di, ob-la-da
Life goes on, brah
La-la, how their life goes on
Yeah, ob-la-di, ob-la-da
Life goes on, brah
La-la, how their life goes on
[Outro]
And if you want some fun
Take ob-la-di-blah-da
