  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 when 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
  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, 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
  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, 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
  Ob-la-di-la-da
