(Ob-la-di Ob-la-da)
Desmond had a barrow in the marketplace
Molly was the singer in a band
Desmond said to Molly, "Girl, I like your face"
And Molly says this as she takes him by the hand
Don’t ask me, haven’t a clue
Don’t recognise you
Life goes on without you
Don’t ask me, haven’t a clue
Don’t recognise you
Life goes on without you
Desmond said to Molly, “Girl, we were married.
You had a twenty-carat golden ring (ring)
Don’t you recognise this thing that you carry?”
But with a broken heart, she begins to sing (sing)
Don’t ask me, haven’t a clue (wooh, wooh, wooh, wooh, wooh, wooh)
Don’t recognise you (wooh, wooh, wooh, wooh, wooh, wooh)
Life goes on without you
Don’t ask me, haven’t a clue (wooh, wooh, wooh, wooh, wooh, wooh)
Don’t recognise you (wooh, wooh, wooh, wooh, wooh, wooh)
Life goes on without you (yeah)
For a couple of years
She’s been in a home, nursing home
With a couple of locks to the outside yard
So no more can she roam (ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)
Alzheimer’s has left its ugly mark on this place
Desmond tries so hard to lend a hand
Molly stays at home doesn’t recognise her face
And in the evening, she thinks she’s singing in the band (yes)
Don’t ask me, haven’t a clue
Don’t recognise you
Life goes on without you (hey)
Don’t ask me, haven’t a clue
Don’t recognise you
Life goes on without you

And if you want some fun
Don’t ask me
I haven’t got a clue
