Desmond has his 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...
O-bla-di, o-bla-da, life goes on, bra!...
Lala how the life goes on...
O-bla-di, o-bla-da, life goes on, bra!...
Lala how the life goes on.

Desmond takes a trolley to the jewelry 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!)
O-bla-di, o-bla-da, life goes on, bra!...
Lala how the life goes on...
O-bla-di, o-bla-da, life goes on, bra!...
Lala how the 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... (Ha ha ha ha ha)

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...
O-bla-di, o-bla-da, life goes on, bra!...
Lala how the life goes on...
O-bla-di, o-bla-da, life goes on, bra!...
Lala how the 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...
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...
O-bla-di, o-bla-da, life goes on, bra!...
Lala how the life goes on...
O-bla-di, o-bla-da, life goes on, bra!...
Lala how the life goes on.

And if you want some fun,
Sing O-bla-di-bla-da.
