Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da

Lennon / McCartney

Desmond has a barrow in the marketplace
Molly is the singer in the band
Desmond says to Molly girl I like your face
And Molly says this as she takes him by the hand

Obla Di Obla Da life goes on brah
La la la life goes on
Obla Di Obla Da life goes on brah
La la la life goes on

Desmond takes a trolley to the jeweler’s store
Buys a 20 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 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 marketplace
Desmond lets the children lend a hand
Molly stays at home and does her pretty face
And in the evening she’s the singer in the band

Happy ever after in the marketplace
Molly lets the children lend a hand
Desmond stays at home and does his pretty face
And in the evening he’s a singer with the band
