"Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da" Lyrics

by John Lennon and Paul McCartney

As Released by the Beatles (1968)

Desmond has a barrow in the marketplace
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
Ob-la-di ob-la-da life goes on bra
La-la how the life goes on.

Desmond takes a trolly to the jewellery 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):

Ob-la-di ob-la-da life goes on bra
La-la how the life goes on
Ob-la-di ob-la-da life goes on bra
La-la how the life goes on - yeah.

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.
(Ho ho ho ho ho)

Happy ever after in the marketplace
Desmond lets the children lend a hand (arm - leg)
Molly stays at home and does her pretty face
And in the evening she still sings it with the band, yes.

Ob-la-di ob-la-da life goes on bra
La-la how the life goes on (he he he)
Hey, Ob-la-di ob-la-da life goes on bra
La-la 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.
(Ho ho ho ho ho)

Hey, happy ever after in the marketplace
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.

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

But if you want some fun (ha ha ha)
Take ob-la-di 'b-la-da ((ha ha ha))
Thank you (ooo) (ha ha ha).
