Desmond has a barrel 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. Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, yeah, la-la-la-la, life goes on. Desmond takes a trolley to the jeweler'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. Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, yeah, la-la-la-la, 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 market place, Desmond lifts a chair and lends a hand. Molly stays at home and does her pretty face, and in the evening she still sings it with the band.
