Ob-La-Di, Ob- La-Da Songtext / Lyric

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, brah

La-la, how the life goes on

Ob-la-di, ob-la-da

Life goes on, brah

La-la, how the life goes on



Desmond takes a trolley to the jeweler's store

Buys a twenty carat golden ring (rin-ring)

Takes it back to Molly waiting at the door

And as he gives it to her she begins to sing (sing)






Ob-la-di, ob-la-da (la-la-la-la la-la-)

Life goes on, brah (la-la la-la-la-laaa)

La-la, how the life goes on

Ob-la-di, ob-la-da (la-la-la-la la-la-)

Life goes on, brah (la-la la-la-la-laaa)

La-la, how the life goes on

Yeah



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 (ha ha ha ha)



Happy ever after in the market place

Desmond lets the children lend a hand (arm!) (leg!)

Molly stays at home and does her pretty face

And in the evening she still sings it with the band



Yes!

Ob-la-di, ob-la-da

Life goes on, brah

La-la, how the life goes on

Hey!

Ob-la-di, ob-la-da

Life goes on, brah

La-la, how the life goes on



In a couple of years

They have built a home sweet home (home: H-O-M-E)

With a couple of kids running in the yard

Of Desmond and Molly Jones (ha ha ha ha ha ha ha)



Hey!

Happy ever after in the market place

Molly lets the children lend a hand (foot!)

Desmond stays at home and does his pretty face

And in the evening she's a singer with the band



Yeah!

Ob-la-di, ob-la-da

Life goes on, brah

La-la, how the life goes on

Hey!

Ob-la-di, ob-la-da

Life goes on, brah

La-la, how the life goes on (ha ha ha ha)

And if you want some fun (ha ha ha ha ha ha ha)

Take Ob-la-di-bla-da (ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha)

(ha ha ha ha)

Ahh...

Thank you (ha ha)
