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...
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, yeah!...
Lala how the life goes on...
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, yeah!...
Lala how the life goes on

Desmond takes a trolley to the jewelry store...
Buys a twenty carat golden ring... (Golden ring)
Takes it back to Molly waiting at the door...
And as he gives it to her she begins to sing... (Sing)
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, yeah!...
Lala how the life goes on...
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, yeah!...
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...
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, yeah!...
Lala how the life goes on...
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, yeah!...
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...
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, yeah!...
Lala how the life goes on...
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, yeah!...
Lala how the life goes on
