Desmond had 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.
Chorus:
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on bra.
La la how the life goes on. (repeat)
Desmond takes a trolley 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.
Chorus
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.

and if you wanna have fun
take ob-la-di-bla-da
