[Текст песни «Облади-облада»]

[Куплет 1]
Desmond has a barrow in 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

[Припев]
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah
La-la, how the life goes on
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah
La-la, how the life goes on

[Куплет 2]
Desmond takes a trolley to the jeweler's store
Buys a 20 carat golden ring
Takes it back to Molly waiting at the door
And as he gives it to her, she begins to sing

[Припев]
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah (la, la, la, la, la, la)
La-la, how the life goes on
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah (la, la, la, la, la, la)
La-la, how the life goes on
[Бридж]
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

[Куплет 3]
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 (yes)

[Припев]
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah
La-la, how the life goes on (hey)
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah
La-la, how the life goes on

[Бридж]
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 (hey)

[Куплет 4]
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 (yeah)
[Припев]
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah
La-la, how the life goes on (hey)
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah
La-la, how the life goes on

[Аутро]
And if you want some fun
Take Ob-la-di-bla-da
