lyrics: [Verse 1]
  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
  
  [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 (Chu chu chu)
  Buys a twenty carat golden ring (Ring)
  Takes it back to Molly waiting at the door
  And as he gives it to her, she begins to sing (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 (Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha)
  
  [Verse 3]
  Happy ever after in the market place
  Desmond lets the children lend a hand (Arm, leg)
  Molly stays at home and does her pretty face
  And in the evening, she still sings it with the band
  Yes!
  
  [Chorus]
  Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah
  La-la, how their life goes on (Heh-heh)
  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 (Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha)
  Yeah!
  
  [Verse 4]
  Happy ever after in the market place
  Molly lets the children lend a hand (Foot)
  Desmond stays at home and does his pretty face
  And in the evening, she's a singer with the band (Yeah)
  
  [Chorus]
  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-bla-da
  Ahh, thank you
