Intro

Verse 1

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

Chorus

 Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah!

Lala how the life goes on

 Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah!

Lala how the life goes on.

(Same as verse 1)

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 he gives it to her she begins to sing...

(Same as chorus 1)

Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah!...

Lala how the life goes on...

Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah!...

Lala how the life goes on.

Middle 1

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)

(same as verse 1)

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, brah!...

Lala how the life goes on...

Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah!...
