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



(chorus) ob la di ob 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 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



chorus



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



chorus



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

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



chorus



and if you want some fun- take ob la di bla da



(note- and i took these lyrics directly from the album so i know they're right, including the song's name!!
