Ob - La Lyrics - The Beatles (the White Album) - Beatles

[Verse 1] 

Desmond has his 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 

[Chorus 1] 

Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah! 

Lala how the life goes on 

Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah! 

Lala how the life goes on 

[Verse 2] 

Desmond takes a trolley to the jeweler's store 

Buys a twenty carat golden ring (ring!) 

Takes it back to Molly waiting at the door 

And as he gives it to her, she begins to sing (sing!)

[Chorus 1] 

Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah! 

Lala how the life goes on 

Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah! 

Lala how the life goes on 

[Chorus 2] 

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) 

[Chorus 3] 

Happy ever after in the market place 

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! 

[Chorus 1] 

Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah! 

Lala how the life goes on 

Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah! 

Lala how the life goes on 

[Chorus 2] 

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) 

[Chorus 3] 

Happy ever after in the market place 

Molly lets the children lend a hand (foot) 

Desmond stays at home and does his pretty face 

And in the evening, she's a singer with the band 

[Chorus 1] 

Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah! 

Lala how the life goes on 

Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah! 

Lala how the life goes on 

[Outro] 

And if you want some fun 

Take Ob-la-di-bla-da
