Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da

Desmond had a barrel in the market place

Molly is the singer in the band

Desmond says to Molly, "Girl, I like your face"

And Molly says that she takes him by the hand

Oh Blondie, oh Blondie, life goes on, right?

La dee ha dee, life goes on

Oh Blondie, oh Blondie, life goes on, right?

La dee ha dee, life goes on

Desmond takes a trolley 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.

Oh bloody, oh bloody, life goes on, right?

La dee ha dee, life goes on.

Oh bloody, oh bloody, life goes on, right?

La dee ha dee, life goes on.

In a couple of years they have built a home, sweet home

With a couple of kids running in the yard

Are Desmond and Marley Jones

Happy ever after in the marketplace

Desmond lets her children lend a hand

Marley stays at home and does her pretty face

Facing in the evening, she still sings it with the band

Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, ra-la-la-la-la, life goes on

Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, ra-la-la-la-la, 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 marketplace Molly lets her children lend a hand

Desmond stays at home and does his pritzy Facing in the evening she's the singer with the band

Oh Blah Dee, Oh Blah Dah, Life Goes On, Rah, La, La, How The Life Goes On

Oh Blah Dee, Oh Blah Dah, Life Goes On, Rah, La, La, How The Life Goes On

And if you want some fun, take Oh Blah Dee, Blah Dah
