Desmond had 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. Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on bra. La la how the life goes on. (2x) 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. Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on bra. La la how the life goes on. (2x) 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 in the evening she still sings it with the band.
