Desmond has a barrow in the marketplace, Molly is a singer in a band. Desmond says to Molly girl I like your voice, and Molly says this as she takes him by the hand. Ob-la-di ob-la-da life goes on, brah, la la how the life goes on. Ob-la-di ob-la-da life goes on, brah, la la how the life goes on.

   Desmond takes a trolley to the jeweler'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. Ob-la-di ob-la-da life goes on, brah, la la how the life goes on. Ob-la-di ob-la-da life goes on, brah, la la 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. Happy ever after in the market place, Desmond lets the children lend a hand. Molly stays at home and does her pretty face, and the evening she still sings it with the band. Yes! Ob-la-di ob-la-da life goes on, brah, la la how the life goes on. Ob-la-di ob-la-da life goes on, brah, la la how the life goes on.
