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 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 trolly to the jeweler's store
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
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
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
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
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 he's a singer with the band
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
And if you want some fun take ob la di bla da
