Desmond has a 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.

Obladi oblada life goes on bra
La la how the life goes on
Obladi Oblada life goes on bra
La la how the life goes on.

Desmond takes a trolly to the jeweller'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.

Obladi oblada life goes on bra
La la how the life goes on
Obladi Oblada life goes on bra
La la how the life goes on.

In a couple of years they have built
home sweet home
With a couple of [bad word] 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 in the evening she's a singer with the band.

Obladi oblada life goes on bra
La la how the life goes on
Obladi Oblada life goes on bra
La la how the life goes on.

In a couple of years they have built

Obladi oblada life goes on bra
La la how the life goes on
Yeah, Obladi Oblada life goes on bra
La la how the life goes on.

And if you want some fun-take Ob-la-di-bla-da.
