Lyrics Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da - Youssou N'Dour

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 la la life goes on
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da
Life goes on, bra
La la la la life goes on

Desmond take the trolley to the jewelery 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

Ob-la-di, ob-la-da
Life goes on, bra
La la la la life goes on
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da
Life goes on, bra
La la la la life goes on

Happy ever after in the market place
Desmond let's 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

Ob-la-di, ob-la-da
Life goes on, bra
La la la la life goes on
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da
Life goes on, bra
La la la la 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

Happy ever after in the market place
Molly let's the children lend a hand
Desmond stays at home and does his pretty face
And in the evening she's a singer with a band

Ob-la-di, ob-la-da
Life goes on, bra
La la la la life goes on
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da
Life goes on, bra
La la la la life goes on

If you want some fun
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da
