Ob la di ob la da

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 -bra- lala how the life goes on
Ob-la-di ob-la-da life goes on -bra- lala how the life goes on

Desmond takes a trolley to the jeweller'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- lala how the life goes on
Ob-la-di ob-la-da life goes on -bra- lala 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 her pretty face
And in the evening she still sings it with the band
Ob-la-di ob-la-da life goes on -bra- lala how the life goes on
Ob-la-di ob-la-da life goes on -bra- lala how the life goes on

In a couple of years they have built a home sweet home

Ob-la-di ob-la-da life goes on -bra- lala how the life goes on
Ob-la-di ob-la-da life goes on -bra- lala how the life goes on
And if you want some fun sing ob-la-di-la-da

Ob-la-di ob-la-da life goes on -bra- lala how the life goes on

Ob-la-di ob-la-da life goes on -bra- lala how the life goes on
And if you want some fun sing ob-la-di-la-da
