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, brah
Lala, how the life goes on
Obladi, Oblada, life goes on, brah
Lala, how the life goes on
Desmond takes a trolley to the jewelry store
Buys a twenty carot 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, brah
Lala, how the life goes on
Obladi, Oblada, life goes on, brah
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, brah
Lala, how the life goes on
Obladi, Oblada, life goes on, brah
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
Molly lets the children lend a hand
Desmond stays at home and does his pretty face
And in the evening she's a singer with the band
(Yeah)
