Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da
 Life goes on, whoa
 La, la how their life goes on

 Desmond has a barrow in the marketplace
 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, whoa
 La, la how their life goes on
 Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da
 Life goes on, whoa
 La, la how their life goes on

 Desmond takes the trolley to the jewellers store
 Buys a twenty carat golden ring
 Takes it back to Molly waiting at the door
 And as she gives it to him she begins to sing

 Ob-La-Di,Ob-La-Da
 Life goes on, whoa
 La, la how their life goes on
 Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da
 Life goes on, whoa
 La, la how their life goes on

 In a couple of years
 They have built a home sweet home
 With a couple of [bad word] in the yard
 Of Desmond and Molly Jones

 Happy ever after in the marketplace
 Molly lets the children lend a hand
 Desmond stays at home and does his pretty face
 And in the evening he still sings it with the band

 Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da
 Life goes on, whoa
 La, la how their life goes on
 Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da
 Life goes on, whoa
 La, la how their life goes on

 In a couple of years
 They have built a home sweet home
 With a couple of [bad word] in the yard
 Of Desmond and Molly Jones (Desmond and Molly)

 Happy ever after in the marketplace
 Molly lets the children lend a hand
 Desmond stays at home and does his pretty face
 And in the evening he's the singer with the band

 Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da
 Life goes on, whoa
 La, la how their life goes on
 Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da
 Life goes on, whoa
 La, la how their life goes on

 And if you want some jam
 Sing Ob-La-Di, Bla-da
