Ob-la-di Ob-la-da

Ob la di ob la da

Life goes on, bro

La la, how life goes on

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, bro

La la, how the life goes on

Ob la di, ob la da

Life goes on, bro

La la, how the life goes on

Desmond takes a trolly 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, bro

La la, how the life goes on

Ob la di, ob la da

Life goes on, bro

La la, 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 his pretty face

And in the evening she's the singer with the band.

Ob la di, ob la da

Life goes on, bro

La la, how the life goes on

Ob la di, ob la da

Life goes on, bro

La la, 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 (Desmond and Molly)

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 he's the singer with the band.

Ob la di, ob la da

Life goes on, bro

La la, how the life goes on

Ob la di, ob la da

Life goes on, bro

La la, how the life goes on

And if you want some time

Say ob la di ob la da

Hey!
