Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da

Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, whoa

La-la, how the 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, whoa

La-la, how my life goes on

Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, whoa

La-la, how my life goes on"

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

"Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, whoa

La-la, how my life goes on

Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, whoa

La-la, how my 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 her pretty face

And in the evening she still sings it with the band

"Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, whoa

La-la, how my life goes on

Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, whoa

La-la, how my 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 she's a singer with the band

"Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, whoa

La-la, how my life goes on

Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, whoa

La-la, how my life goes on"

And if you want some jam

Sing ob-la-di, bla-da

Hey!
