Obla-di, obla-da, life goes on,
Oh la, la, la, life goes on.
Desmond has a barrow in the market place,
Molly is a singer in the band.
Desmond says to Molly,
“Girl, I like your face”,
And Molly says this as she takes him by the hand:
Chorus
Obla-di, obla-da, life goes on,
Oh la, la, la, life goes on.
Obla-di, obla-da, life goes on,
Oh la, la, la, 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:
(Chorus)
In a couple of years
They’ll 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.
(Chorus)
