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 0b-la-da, life goes on, bra-la-la, how the life goes on
Ob-la-di ob-la-da, life goes on, bra-la-la, how the life goes on
Desmond takes a trolley to the jewellers stores
Buy 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
(Repeat *)
** In a couple of years they have built a home sweet
home
With a couple of kids running in the year 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
(Repeat * and **)
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
(Repeat *)
And if you want some fun, take ob-la-di-bla-da
