♫ Ob-la-di, ob-la-da
lyrics and music by J. Lennon and P. McCartney
performed by The Beatles
Desmond has a barrow1 in a market place, Molly is singer in a band2. Desmond says to Molly: “Girl, I like your face” And Molly says this as she takes him by the hand:
Refrain:
Obladi, oblada, life goes on, bra, Lalalala, life goes on. Obladi, oblada, life goes on, bra, Lalalala, life goes on.
Desmond takes a trolley to the je�ellers’ stores,
Buys a t�entykarat golden ring, Takes it back to Molly �aiting at the door And as he gives it to her she begins to sing…
Refrain
In a couple of years they have built A home, s�eet home, With a couple of kids, running in the yard Of Desmond and Molly Jones.
Happy ever after in a market place Desmond lets the children lend a hand, Molly stays at home and does her pretty face And in the evening she still sings it �ith the band:
Refrain
And if you �ant some fun – say obladi, oblada

♫ Animal Song
performed by Savage Garden
When superstars and cannonballs Are running through2 your head
And television freak3 show cops and robbers4 every�here. Sub�ay makes me nervous, people’re pushing5 me too far. I’ve got to break a�ay, so, take my hand no�…
Refrain:
‘Cause I want to live like animals, Careless and free like animals. I want to live, I want to run through the jungle �ith the �ind In my hair and sand on my feet.
I’ve been having difculties keeping to myself, Feelings and emotions better left up on the shelf. Animals and children tell the truth – they never lie. Which one is more human there’s a thought no� you decide.
Compassion6 in the jungle,
Compassion in your hands. Would you like to make a run for it? Would you like to take my hand?

Sometimes this life can get you do�n, It’s so confusing7. There’s so many rules to follo� But I don’t feel it ‘Cause I just run a�ay in my mind.

Please, stay out of my �ay. I’m so mad at the �hole �orld, I feel angry today.
Tuesday: I feel terribly blue.
I don’t know �hat to do ‘Cause it’s cold and it’s raining. I feel terribly blue.

It’s been sunny all day And I don’t work tomorro�! I feel happy today!
♫ Girl
lyrics and music by J. Lennon and P. McCartney
performed by The Beatles
Is there anybody going to listen to my story All about the girl �ho came to stay? She’s the kind of girl you �ant so much It makes you sorry, Still you don’t regret a single day. Oh, girl, girl!
When I think of all the times I’ve tried so hard to leave her, She �ill turn to me and start to cry, And she promises the earth to me And I believe her After all this time I don’t know �hy. Oh, girl, girl!
She’s the kind of girl �ho puts you do�n, When friends are there, you feel a fool. When you say she’s looking good She acts as if it’s understood. She’s cool, cool, cool, cool! Girl, girl!
Was she told �hen she �as young That the pain �ould lead to pleasure? Did she understand it �hen they said That a man must break his back To earn his day of leasure? Will she still believe it When he’s dead? Oh, girl, girl!
