first_line1. Desmond had a barrow in the market place,
lyric1. Desmond had 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:

Ref.: Obladi, oblada, life goes on,
bra, la, la, how the life goes on.

2. Desmond takes a trolley to the jeweller’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:

In a couple of years the have build a home,
sweet home,
with a couple of kids running in the yard
of Desmond and Molly Jones.

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:
