The Beatles-Obla-Di-Obla-Da

    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!)
