The Beatles - Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da

Desmond has a barrow in the marketplace

Molly is the singer in a 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, bra

La-la, how the life goes on

Ob-la-di, ob-la-da

Life goes on, bra

La-la, how the life goes on

Desmond takes a trolley to the jeweler's store

Buys a twenty carat golden ring [rin-ring]

Takes it back to Molly waiting at the door

And as he gives it to her she begins to sing [sing]

Ob-la-di, ob-la-da [la-la-la-la la-la-]

Life goes on, bra [la-la la-la-la-laaa]

La-la, how the life goes on

Ob-la-di, ob-la-da [la-la-la-la la-la-]

Life goes on, bra [la-la la-la-la-laaa]

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 [ha ha ha ha]

Happy ever after in the market place

Desmond lets the children lend a hand [arm!] [leg!]

Molly stays at home and does her pretty face

And in the evening she still sings it with the band

Yes!

Ob-la-di, ob-la-da

Life goes on, bra

La-la, how the life goes on

Hey!

Ob-la-di, ob-la-da

Life goes on, bra

La-la, how the life goes on

In a couple of years

They have built a home sweet home [home: H-O-M-E]

With a couple of kids running in the yard

Of Desmond and Molly Jones [ha ha ha ha ha ha ha]

Hey!

Happy ever after in the market place

Molly lets the children lend a hand [foot!]

Desmond stays at home and does his pretty face

And in the evening she's a singer with the band

Yeah!

Ob-la-di, ob-la-da

Life goes on, bra

La-la, how the life goes on

Hey!

Ob-la-di, ob-la-da

Life goes on, bra

La-la, how the life goes on [ha ha ha ha]

And if you want some fun [ha ha ha ha ha ha ha]

Take Ob-la-di-bla-da [ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha]

[ha ha ha ha]

Ahh…

Thank you [ha ha]
