Obladi, oblada, life goes on
Oh, la la la, life goes on
Desmond has a barrow in the marketplace
Molly is the singer in the 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 Oh,
la la la, life goes on
Desmond takes a 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 her she begins to sing
Obladi, oblada, life goes on Oh,
la la la, life goes on
Obladi,
oblada,
life goes on Oh,
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
At the ever after in the marketplace
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 Obladi, oblada, life goes on Oh,
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
At the ever after in the marketplace
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
Obladi, oblada, life goes on Oh,
la la la, life goes on
Obladi,
oblada,
life goes on Oh,
la la la,
life goes on
And if you want some jam,
say Obladi, blada, hey!
