text: 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, 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
  Desmond takes a trolley to the jewelers 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, 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
  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
  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
  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 
  Yeah!
  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, shes a singer with the band 
  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
  And if you want some fun
  Take Ob-la-di-bla-da
  Ahh, thank you
