Uhu, uhu
Desmond has a barrow in marketplace
Molly is the singer in a band
Desmond says to Molly, “Girl, I like your fechy face”
Molly says this as she takes him by the hand

Ob-la-di, ob-la-da
Life goes on, brah
Uh-la, still the life goes on
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da-da-da-da
Life goes on, brah
Uh-la-ha, and be life goes on

Now Desmond takes a trolley to the jeweler's store
And buys a twenty-karat golden ring
Takes back to Molly she's waiting at the door
And as he gives it to her, she begins to sing, uh, uh

Ob-la-di, ob-la-da
Life goes on
Uho, how still lifе goes on
Ob-la-di-di-di-di, ob-la-da
Life goes on, brah, no, ho-ha
Lifе 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
Hm, happy ever after in the marketplace
Desmond lets the children lend a hand
Molly stays at home and does her pretty face
And in the evening, she still sing with the band
Uh, ouh, uh-uh, ob-la-di, ob-la-da
Life goes on, brah
Uh-hm, still the life goes on
Yeah, ob-la-di, ob-la-da
Life goes on, brah
La-la, how their life goes on
And if you want some fun i'm take
Some over end, bada
Ah, ob-la-di-bla-da-ba
Hm, take some ob-la-di-ob-la-da
