Pomp-a-dee, pomp-a-da, that goes on
Oh, oh, da-da-ha-ba, that goes on
Desmond has a barrel in the marketplace
Molly is the singer of the band
Desmond says to Molly, girl, I like your face
Molly says this as she takes him by the hand
Pomp-a-dee, pomp-a-da, that goes on
Oh, oh, da-da-ha-ba, that goes on
Pomp-a-dee, pomp-a-da, that goes on
Oh, oh, da-da-ha-ba, that goes on
Desmond takes a trolley to the jewelry store
Miles of 20 carat, moon and moon
Takes it back to Molly, waiting at the door
And as she gives it to him, she begins to sing
Pomp-a-dee, pomp-a-da, that goes on
Oh, oh, da-da-ha-ba, that goes on
Pomp-a-dee, pomp-a-da, that goes on
Oh, oh, da-da-ha-ba, that goes on
In a couple of years they have built a home sweet home
With a couple of kids running in the yard
That Desmond and Molly chose
Happy ever after in the marketplace
Molly lets the children let her have
Desmond stays at all of us' pretty face
And in the evening he sits and sings it with the band
Pomp-a-dee, pomp-a-da, that goes on
Oh, oh, da-da-ha-ba, that goes on
Pomp-a-dee, pomp-a-da, that goes on
Pomp-a-dee, pomp-a-da, that goes on
Oh, oh, da-da-ha-ba, that goes on
In a couple of years they have built a home sweet home
With a couple of kids running in the yard
That Desmond and Molly chose
That Desmond and Molly chose
Happy ever after in the marketplace
