The Beatles「披頭合唱團」1968年的專輯《White Album》當中有一首“Obla-Di-Obla-Da ”後來於1976年底重新推出單曲獲得49名，這首歌起初於1969年曾由Athur Conley推出過獲得51名。
“Obla-Di-Obla-Da ”這首歌裡提及Molly Jones這個人，根據Paul
McCartney在自傳裡的說法，那是一首很自我的歌，Molly Jones是Desmond and Molly這對夫妻之一，Paul喜歡這名字，事實上並沒有這個人，Desmond是一個很加勒比海風格的名字，在澳洲 Surry Hills有一家Desmond and Molly Jones Hair Salon髮廊，而Desmond
Dekker則是一個雷鬼歌手，他有一首Top 10 的暢銷曲Israelites
(#9/69) 也曾獲得英國排行榜冠軍，還是一首進搖滾樂名人堂的歌。

"Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da"
Writer(s): John Lennon, Paul McCartney
Desmond has 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
Ob-la-di ob-la-da life goes on bra
La-la how their life goes on
Ob-la-di ob-la-da life goes on bra
La-la how their life goes on
Desmond takes a trolley to the jeweler's
stores
Buys a twenty carat golden ring (Golden
ring?)
Takes it back to Molly waiting at the door
And as he gives it to her she begins to
sing (Sing)
Ob-la-di ob-la-da life goes on bra
La-la how their life goes on
Ob-la-di ob-la-da life goes on bra
La-la how their life goes on, yeah (No)
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
(Ah ha ha ha ha ha)
Happy ever after in the market place
Desmond lets the children lend a hand (Arm!
Leg!)
Molly stays at home and does her pretty
face
And in the evening she still sings it with
the band
Yes, ob-la-di ob-la-da life goes on bra
La-la how their life goes on (Ha ha ha)
Hey, ob-la-di ob-la-da life goes on bra
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
(Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha)
Yeah, happy ever after in the market place
Molly lets the children lend a hand (Foot!)
Desmond stays at home and does his pretty
face
And in the evening she's a singer with the
band
Yeah, ob-la-di ob-la-da life goes on bra
La-la how their life goes on
Yeah, ob-la-di ob-la-da life goes on bra
La-la how their life goes on
And if you want some fun
Take ob-la-di ob-la-da
(Thank you, uh, ha ha ha!)
