Song byThe Beatles

in AlbumWhite Album

Desmond has a barrow in the market place

Molly is a singer in a band

Desmond says to Molly 'girl I like your face'

And Molly says this as she takes him by the hand

Obladi Oblada life goes on bra

Lala how the life goes on

Obladi Oblada life goes on bra

Lala how the life goes on

Desmond takes a trolley to the jewellers stores

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

Obladi Oblada life goes on bra

Lala how the life goes on

Obladi Oblada life goes on bra

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

Yes Obladi Oblada life goes on bra

Lala how the life goes on

Hey Obladi Oblada life goes on bra

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

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 Obladi Oblada life goes on bra

Lala how the life goes on

Hey Obladi Oblada life goes on bra

Lala how the life goes on

And if you want some fun take Obladi-Blada

Thank you
