[Intro: McCartney & Lennon]
Desmond
And Molly
Molly

[Verse 1]
Desmond has a barrow in the market place
Molly is the singer in a band
Dessy says to Molly "Girl, I like your face"
And then she says this as she takes him by the hand

[Chorus]
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah!
Lala how their life goes on
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah!
Lala how their life goes on

[Verse 2]
Desmond takes a trolley to the jewelry store
Buys a twenty carat golden ring
Takes it back to Molly waiting at the door
And as/when he gives it to her she begins to sing

[Chorus]
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah!
Lala how their life goes on
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah!
Lala how their life goes on
[Bridge]
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

[Verse 3]
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
[Unintelligible]

[Chorus]
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah!
Lala how their life goes on
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah!
Lala how their life goes on

[Bridge]
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

[Verse 3 (repeated)]
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
[Unintelligible]
[Chorus]
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah!
Lala how their life goes on
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah!
Lala how their life goes on

[Outro]
Da-da dum-dum-dum-dum-dum, ahh
