Desmond has his barrow in the marketplace... Molly is the singer in a band...

Desmond takes a trolley to the jewelry store... Buys a twenty carat golden ring...

Happy ever after in the marketplace...Desmond lets the children lend a hand...

Happy ever after in the marketplace... Molly lets the children lend a hand...

Desmond says to Molly " Girl, I like your face"And Molly says this as she takes him by the hand...

Takes it back to Molly waiting at the door...And as he gives it to her she begins to sing...

Molly stays at home and does her pretty face...And in the evening she still sings it with the band...

Desmond stays at home and does his pretty face...And in the evening she's a singer with the band...

Chorus: Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah!... La la how the life goes on... X2

Bridge: 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...
