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,
"Ob-la-di, ob-la-da life goes on, bra, Lala how the life goes on. Ob-la-di, ob-la-da life goes on, bra, Lala how the life goes on".
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.
