Ob La Di Ob La Da
Marmalade° Lyrics

Ob-La-Di, ob-La-Da
Life continues to move forward without any concern for our emotions and thoughts.

Life goes on, whoa
Life progresses with little regard for people's feelings.

La, la how their life goes on
Life moves on despite the ups and downs felt by those living it.

Desmond says to Molly girl I like your face

And Molly says this as she takes him by the hand

Desmond takes the trolley to the jewellers store

Buys a twenty carat golden ring

Takes it back to Molly waiting at the door

And as she gives it to him she begins to sing

In a couple of years they have built a home sweet home
After a few years, Desmond and Molly have built a lovely home for themselves.

With a couple of kids running in the yard
Desmond and Molly have had a couple of children who play in their yard.

Happy ever after in the marketplace

Desmond lets the children lend a hand

Molly stays at home and does his pretty face

And in the evening he still sings it with the band

And in the evening he's the singer with the band

And if you want some jam
If you want something sweet and tasty,

Sing Ob-La-Di, bla-da, hey
Sing along to the cheerful tune of Ob-La-Di, bla-da, hey.
