The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Desmond has a barrow in the marketplace
Molly is the singer in a band
Desmond say to Molly, girl I like your face
And molly says this as she takes him by the hand
Obladi, oblada
Life goes on, brah
La la how their life goes on
Obladi, oblada
Life goes on, brah
La la how their life goes on
Desmond takes a trolley to the jewelers store
Buys a twenty carat golden ring, (rin-ring)
Takes it back to Molly waiting at the door
And as he gives it to her she begins to sing (sin-sing)
Obladi, oblada
Life goes on, brah
La la how their life goes on
Obladi, oblada
Life goes on, brah
La la how their life goes on
Yeah, 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's a singer with the band
Obladi, oblada
Life goes on, brah
La la how their life goes on
Obladi, oblada
Life goes on, brah
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
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
Obladi, oblada
Life goes on, brah
La la how their life goes on
Obladi, oblada
Life goes on, brah
La la how their life goes on
And if you want some fun
Take ob-la-di, bla-da
