Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da, life goes on bra
More specifically,...
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!)
As Paul Harvey used to say on the radio, Page Two.
Since all of us want an orderly transition, here is an orderly transition:
Okay, I'll be serious for a second. There is more than enough commentary and analysis to be found on television and social media for me to need to put in my two cents worth. Plus you cannot yet be put in jail for what you think, only for what you do.
May it be ever thus.
Sadly it will escalate into a global war. China is now the enemy. Creepy Joe is bought and paid for so will do nothing were he be capable of thought.
ReplyDeleteWhat anyone voting should ask themselves of a candidate is where their money comes from. Public service in the west is not well paid.
Good one Adrian, a good laugh
DeleteMay it be ever thus indeed.
ReplyDeleteOb-La-Di is one of the happy songs in my list of those that make me feel good. It was a good choice. We all need a dose of happy today.
ReplyDeleteI'm not wondering if you are insane. I feel the same way!
ReplyDeleteI rather struggled with your point for a while. I'm a bit simple of mind sometimes. The lyrics were actually written by Paul McCartney but were also attributed to John Lennon (in partnership). John Lennon was a couple of years ahead of me in school and even then I realised there was a very thin line between being bonkers and brilliant. I've never been quite sure which is which with their songs ever since I went to an early screening of Yellow Submarine.
ReplyDeleteThe USA is not the centre of all the world and is today very little in and a few people making a mark in Washington DC, hired in and paid to spoil a party, is nothing in the wider world. It is a question of get over it and stop making a spectacle of yourselves. Nobody else cares.
ReplyDeleteHired in by whom?
DeleteIt's when people are getting told what to think and believe it, no matter how far from the truth it may be that's the problem, as we have seen. 'Hired' party poopers apparently. I rest my case, that in itself is beyond disturbing. You have been very vague on purpose methinks, but having read some of the commenters I understand why. Philip's post is on the nail. People buy cars that don't work from conmen who are very skilled at doing just that. If afterwards they decide it wasn't the conman's fault and buy another car, and another it speaks volumes about the reality they have chosen to inhabit. My parents said to me many years ago that they couldn't undertand how perfectly normal, nice middle class German families could support Hitler, but he presented a way to make his country great away, to get rid of the 'scroungers' and 'leeches', to increase wealth and make the comman man wealthy and healthy. He didn't start with all the camps and killing until he gained the level of power and trust that would enable him to. People get cross-eyes at any mentione of Hitler of Trump, but they need to undertand what I've just written. The policies are the same. People accept a little more and a little more at a time and it's all so very justified and patriotic to do so! It isn't that Biden is a wonderful choice, it's that anyone who can engineer a civil war on purpose regardless of care for their country shouldn't.
ReplyDelete"There is more than enough commentary and analysis to be found on television and social media for me to need to put in my two cents worth."
ReplyDeleteDare I say the word cop-out? Why, yes, I dare! This being the case, might you not at least direct your many and devoted readers--dare I say "followers"?--to a source that wholly portrays your own thoughts about the attempted coup along with Georgia's recent election results?
"I might actually be insane, but there is this: I have never been clinically diagnosed."
Does this mean that your friends, family, readers, neighbors, acquaintances, and you yourself, are convinced that you're just short of being eligible for commitment, and is it your conviction that the scale might tip in favor of it at any moment? One test of whether this is the case might be if people in stores stare at you funny every time you open your mouth. Another might be whether your next door neighbors invariably move away before the ink on constantly putting their hands on your shoulder and assuring you solemnly that they are praying for you even on your good days. Another sign would be whether people invariably stop talking as soon as you enter a room. Finally, are people at church addressing (with increasing frequency) the subject of exorcism, and have you observed that you're the focus of these discussions? If the answer to any of these questions is yes, I would simply urge you to get the help you so desperately need while you're still young enough to benefit from it.
The burning question remains: Why was Paul McCartney barefoot when he walked across that famous zebra crossing on Abbey Road in West London?
