"YES SIR, TAKE 1 OF THE UNITED JUMBO BAND"


A                           E
Desmond has a barrow in the marketplace,
                          A
Molly is the singer in a band.
                             D
Desmond says to Molly girl I like your face,
           A               E                A
And Molly says this as she takes him by the hand:

                              C#m   F#m
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on   bra'
A             E         A
La-la how the life goes on.
                              C#m   F#m
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on   bra'
A             E        A
La-la how the life goes on


  A                           E
Desmond takes a trolly to the jewler's store,
                            A
Buys a twenty carrat golden ring
                               D
Takes it back to Molly waiting at the door
           A              E             A
And as he gives it to her she begins to sing:

                              C#m   F#m
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on   bra'
A             E         A
La-la how the life goes on.
                              Cm   Gm
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on   bra'
A             E        A
La-la how the life goes on
