for 3 weeks
Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da - Marmalade
Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da
Life goes on, whoa
La, la how their life goes on
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, whoa
La, la how their life goes on
Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da
Life goes on, whoa
La, la how their life goes on
Desmond takes the trolley to the jewellers store
Buys a twenty carat golden ring
Takes it back to Molly waiting at the door
and as she gives it to him she begins to sing
Ob-La-Di,Ob-La-Da
Life goes on, whoa
La, la how their life goes on
Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da
Life goes on, whoa
La, la how their life 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
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 still sings it with the band
Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da
Life goes on, whoa
La, la how their life goes on
Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da
Life goes on, whoa
La, la how their life 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 (Desmond and Molly)
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 the singer with the band
Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da
Life goes on, whoa
La, la how their life goes on
Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da
Life goes on, whoa
La, la how their life goes on
and if you want some jam
Sing Ob-La-Di, Bla-da
