Lyrics

Desmond has a barrow in the market place..
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..
Obladi oblada life goes on brahhh..
Lala how the life goes on..
Obladi oblada life goes on brahhh..
Lala how the life goes on

Desmond takes a trolley to the jewelry store..
Buys a twenty carat golden ring... (golden ring)
Takes it back to molly waiting at the door..
And as he gives it to her she begins to sing... (sing)
Obladi oblada life goes on brahhh..
Lala how the life goes on..
Obladi oblada life goes on brahhh..
Lala 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... (ha ha ha ha ha)

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..
Obladi oblada life goes on brahhh..
Lala how the life goes on..
Obladi oblada life goes on brahhh..
Lala 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... (ha ha ha ha ha)

Happy ever after in the market place..
Desmond lets the children lend a hand..
Molly stays at home and does his pretty face..
And in the evening she's a singer with the band..
(Yeah), obladi oblada life goes on brahhh..
Lala how the life goes on..
(Yeah), obladi oblada life goes on brahhh..
Lala how the life goes on

And if you want some fun...take ob-la-di-bla-da (thank you)
