Desmond has a barrow in the marketplace. 
Molly is the singer in a band
Desmond says to Molly, girl I like you 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
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da life goes on, bra
La la how the life goes on

Desmond take a trolley  to the jewelers 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
                                    Ref

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

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's a singer with the band
                                   Ref

And if you want some fun  take Ob-la-di-bla-da
