Desmond has a barrow
In the marketplace
Molly is the singer in a band
Desmond say to Molly,
Girl I like you face
And Molly says this
As she takes him by the hand

Obladi, oblada,
Life goes on, bra
La la la how life goes on
Obladi, oblada
Life goes on, bra
La la la how life goes on

Desmond take a trolley
To the jewelers 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

Obladi, oblada
Life goes on, bra
La la la how life goes on
Obladi, oblada
Life la how goes on, bra
La la how the life goes on

Yeah,
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's a singer with the band

Obladi, oblada
Life goes on, bra
La la la how life goes on
Obladi, oblada
Life goes on, bra
La la la how life goes on

Obladi, oblada
Life goes on, bra
La la la how life goes on
Obladi, oblada
Life goes on, bra
La la la how life goes on
