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, yeah

La la, how the life goes on
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da
Life goes on, yeah

La la, how the life goes on

Desmond take a trolley

To the jewelery 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

[repeat chorus]


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's still singing with the band


[repeat chorus]

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's still singing with the band


[repeat chorus]


Everybody

[repeat chorus to fade]
