Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-DaRolf Harris

[Verse 1]
Desmond has a barrow in the market place
Molly is the singer in a band (look at that band!)
Desmond says to Molly, "Girl, I like your face"
And Molly says this as she takes him by the hand

[Chorus]
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah
La-la-la-la, life goes on
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah
La-la-la-la, life goes on

[Verse 2]
Desmond takes a trolley to the jeweler's store
Buys a twenty carat golden ring (look at that ring!)
Takes it back to Molly waiting at the door
And as he gives it to her, she begins to sing

[Chorus]
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah
La-la-la-la, life goes on
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah
La-la-la-la, life goes on

[Bridge]
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
(Ha, ha, ha, ha!)
(Ha, ha, ha, ha!)

[Verse 3]
Happy ever after in the market place
Desmond lets the children lend a hand (give us a hand!)
Molly stays at home and does her pretty face
And in the evening she's the singer with the band

[Chorus]
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah
La-la-la-la, life goes on
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah
La-la-la-la, life goes on

[Bridge]
In a couple of years they have built a home sweet home (hehe!)
With a couple of kids running in the yard
Of Desmond and Molly Jones
(Ha, ha, ha, ha!)
(Ha, ha, ha, ha!)
(Ha, ha, ha, ha!)
(Ha, ha, ha, ha!)

[Verse 4]
Happy ever after in the market place
Molly lets the children lend a hand (give us a hand!)
Desmond stays at home and does his pretty face
And in the evening she still sings it with the band

[Chorus]
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah
La-la-la-la, life goes on
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah
La-la-la-la, life goes on

[Outro]
And if you want some fun
Take Ob-la-di-bla-da
Oh!
