Desmond had 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.

Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on  bra.
La la how the life goes on. (repeat)

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.

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.
