"Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da"
Desmond has a 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
Ob-la-di ob-la-da life goes on bra
La-la how their life goes on
Ob-la-di ob-la-da life goes on bra
La-la how their life goes on
Desmond takes a trolley to the jeweler's stores
Buys a twenty carat golden ring (Golden ring?)
Takes it back to Molly waiting at the door
And as he gives it to her she begins to sing (Sing)
Ob-la-di ob-la-da life goes on bra
La-la how their life goes on
Ob-la-di ob-la-da life goes on bra
La-la how their life goes on, yeah (No)
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
(Ah ha ha ha ha ha)
Happy ever after in the market place
Desmond lets the children lend a hand (Arm! Leg!)
Molly stays at home and does her pretty face
And in the evening she still sings it with the band
Yes, ob-la-di ob-la-da life goes on bra
La-la how their life goes on (Ha ha ha)
Hey, ob-la-di ob-la-da life goes on bra
La-la how their 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
(Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha)
Yeah, happy ever after in the market place
Molly lets the children lend a hand (Foot!)
Desmond stays at home and does his pretty face
And in the evening she's a singer with the band
Yeah, ob-la-di ob-la-da life goes on bra
La-la how their life goes on
Yeah, ob-la-di ob-la-da life goes on bra
La-la how their life goes on
And if you want some fun
Take ob-la-di ob-la-da
(Thank you, uh, ha ha ha!)

Writer(s): John Lennon, Paul McCartney
Paul McCartney, who wrote this song, took the
expression "ob-la-di, ob-la-da" from his friend Jimmy
Scott (a member of Obla Di Obla Da Band).
McCartney said, "He got annoyed when I did a song
of it, 'cause he wanted a cut." Later McCartney
exchanged Jimmy Scott's rights to the title for paying
a bail for him, when Scott was jailed.
In the third chorus after Paul McCartney sings the
word "hand" the other Beatles shout "arm" and "leg".
John Lennon, Ringo Starr and George Harrison never
liked this song and didn't allow it to be released as a
single in the UK, as Paul McCartney wanted.
Marmalade covered this song in 1968, and their
version made number-one hit in the UK.
The first time when this song was performed live was
in Hamburg, Germany, on the 2nd of December
2009. Paul McCartney played it on the first night of
his European tour.
The Offspring borrowed the melody of this song for
their hit "Why Don't You Get a Job?" in 1999.
