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

Obladi Oblada life goes on bra
Lala how the life goes on
Obladi Oblada life goes on bra
Lala how the life goes on

Desmond takes a trolly to to the jewellers stores
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

Obladi Oblada life goes on bra
Lala how the life goes on
Obladi Oblada life goes on bra
Lala how the 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

Obladi Oblada life goes on bra
Lala how the life goes on
Obladi Oblada life goes on bra
Lala how the life goes on

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 bra
Lala how the life goes on
Obladi Oblada life goes on bra
Lala how the life goes on

Chorus: And id you want some fun-take Obladi Oblada
