[]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.
{start_of_chorus}
Ob-la-[]di, ob-la-da, life goes []on []bra.
[]La la how the []life goes []on. (repeat)
{end_of_chorus}
[]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.
[NC]In a couple of []years they have built a home sweet []home
[NC]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.
