Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da

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

Ob-la-di, ob-la-da
Life goes on, brah
La la la, life goes on
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da
Life goes on, brah
La la la, life goes on

Desmond take a trolley to the jeweler's store
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)

Ob-la-di, ob-la-da
Life goes on, brah
La la la, life goes on
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da
Life goes on, brah
La la la, life goes on

In a couple of years they had 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

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

In a couple of years they had 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 a singer with the band

Ob-la-di, ob-la-da
Life goes on, brah
La la la, life goes on
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da
Life goes on, brah
La la la, life goes on

In a couple of years they had 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 a singer with the band

And if you want some fun
Take ob-la-di-bla-da
