Marmalade - Obladi Oblada 1968 & 1998

Marmalade - Obladi Oblada 1968 & 1998

(3 weeks at #1 - 20 weeks on chart )

Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da
Life goes on, whoa
La, la how their life goes on

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

Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da
Life goes on, whoa
La, la how their life goes on

Desmond takes the trolley to the jewellers store
Buys a twenty carat golden ring
Takes it back to Molly waiting at the door
And as she gives it to him she begins to sing

Ob-La-Di,Ob-La-Da
Life goes on, whoa
La, la how their life goes on
Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da
Life goes on, whoa
La, la how their 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 marketplace
Molly lets the children lend a hand
Desmond stays at home and does his pretty face
And in the evening he still sings it with the band

Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da
Life goes on, whoa
La, la how their life goes on
Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da
Life goes on, whoa
La, la how their 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 (Desmond and Molly)

Happy ever after in the marketplace
Molly lets the children lend a hand
Desmond stays at home and does his pretty face
And in the evening he's the singer with the band

Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da
Life goes on, whoa
La, la how their life goes on
Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da
Life goes on, whoa
La, la how their life goes on

And if you want some jam
Sing Ob-La-Di, Bla-da

Got it ~ Marmelade! ha ha. Actually I have got all Marmalade's hits on CD and they actually recorded some memorable music. Band undone, I seem to remember, by groupies!

@SuperNevile Funnily enough, Marmalade almost knocked Two Little Boys off the #1perch a year later with Reflections of My Life at the beginning of '70 but were beaten to the post by - Edison Lighthouse!.

By the way, this is not the original Marmalade or recording. Spot The Ringers BONG!!!

[SuperNevile]

Oh Dear. 1969 started with this at No. 1 in the U.K and finished with Two Little Boys by Rof Harris. Bookended a great year for pop music though ~ and men landing on the moon.

Are you serious? this is a karaoke cover by terrible ringers

BONG!
