Desmond has a partner in the market place, Molly is the singer in the band. Desmond said to Molly, girl I like your face, and Molly said it's sad she took him by the hand. Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, oh-oh, la-la-la-la, life goes on. Desmond takes a trolley to a jeweler's store, buy a twenty-carat golden ring. Took his tongue to Molly waiting at the door, and as he gave it, Molly then began to sing. Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, oh-oh, la-la-la-la, life goes on. In many years they'll build a home, sweet home. With many kids running in the yard for Desmond and Molly Jones. Happy ever after in the market place, Desmond little children in their hand. Molly stays at home and does her pretty face, and in the evening she's still singing with the band. Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, oh-oh, la-la-la-la, life goes on.
