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 carot 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 his pretty face
And in the evening she's a singer with the band
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
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
And if you want some fun, take Ob-la-di-bla-da
