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
O bla di, o bla da, life goes on, brah
Lala how the life goes on
O bla di, o bla da, life goes on, brah
Lala how the life goes on
Desmond takes a trolley to the jewelry 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
O bla di, o bla da, life goes on, brah
Lala how the life goes on
O bla di, o bla da, life goes on, brah
Lala 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
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
O bla di, o bla da, life goes on, brah
Lala how the life goes on
O bla di, o bla da, life goes on, brah
Lala how the life goes on.

Desmond stays at home and does his pretty face
And in the evening she's a singer with the band
O bla di, o bla da, life goes on, brah
Lala how the life goes on
O bla di, o bla da, life goes on, brah
Lala how the life goes on.
And if you want some fun,
Sing O bla di bla da.
