Desmond had a barrow in the market place,
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.

La la how the life goes on.
Ob-la-di, Ob-la-da life goes on brah!

Desmond takes a trolley to the jeweller'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.

La la how the life goes on.
Ob-la-di, Ob-la-da life goes on brah!
La la how the 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 lets the children lend a hand
Molly stays at home and does her pretty face
and in the evening she still sings it with the band.
