Ob-la-di, ob-la-da life goes on brah
Of Desmond and Molly Jones, hey
Molly lets the children lend a hand
La la how the life goes on
Molly stays at home and does her pretty face
Desmond stays at home and does his pretty face
And in the evening she's a singer with the band
Happy ever after in the market place
In a couple of years they have built a home, sweet home
Yeah, ob-la-di, ob-la-da life goes on brah
Happy ever after in the market place
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da life goes on brah
La la how the life goes on
La la how the life goes on
Yeah, ob-la-di, ob-la-da life goes on brah
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da life goes on brah
Desmond takes a trolley to the jewelry store
Of Desmond and Molly Jones
La la how the life goes on
Buys a twenty carat golden ring
In a couple of years they have built a home, sweet home
And in the evening she still sings it with the band
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da life goes on brah
Takes it back to Molly waiting at the door
With a couple of kids running in the yard
Yeah, ob-la-di, ob-la-da life goes on brah
And Molly says this as she takes him by the hand
With a couple of kids running in the yard
Desmond lets the children lend a hand
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da life goes on brah
La la how the life goes on
La la how the life goes on
And as he gives it to her she begins to sing
La la how the life goes on
La la how the life goes on
Desmond says to Molly, "Girl I like your face"
