grubun, "the beatles" adlı ("the white albüm" olarak da bilinen) albümünden, 1968 yapımı bir parça. yalnız, çıktığı sene bir çok ülkede tekli olarak piyasaya sürülmüş ve birkaç hafta boyunca listelerde zirveyi alabilmiş ise de 1976 yılına kadar ne birleşik krallık'ta ne de a.b.d'de yayımlanmamıştır. parçanın yapımı sırasında çeşitli sorunlar da meydana gelmiş, üyeler ve yapımcılar arasında çeşitli sıkıntılar yaşanmışsa da bu tür ayrıntıları aktarmayı gereksiz buldum. merak edenler buraya bakabilir.

Desmond has a barrow at the marketplace
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 the life goes on
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da
Life goes on, bra
La-la, how the life goes on

Desmond takes a trolley to the jeweler's store
Buys a twenty carat golden ring
Takes it back to Molly waiting at the door
And when he gives it to her she begins to sing

Ob-la-di, ob-la-da
Life goes on, bra
La-la, how the life goes on
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da
Life goes on, bra
La-la, 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

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 the life goes on
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da
Life goes on, bra
La-la, 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

Happy ever after in the market place
Desmond lets the children lend a hand (foot!)
Molly stays at home and does her pretty face
And in the evening she's a singer with the band

Ob-la-di, ob-la-da
Life goes on, bra
La-la, how the life goes on
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da
Life goes on, bra
La-la, how the life goes on

Ob-la-di-bla-da
