Desmond had a barrow in the market place
Molly worked for Desmond cash in hand
Desmond says to Molly " someone's told the tax " so now come evenings Molly sings in Desmonds band

O bloody o bla bla, strife goes on aaha
la la la la strife goes on

Desmond found a trolley near the jewellry store
while he was out drinking Friday night
takes it back to Molly she says "silly git ; you've woke the neighbours up and give the bairns a fright "

O bloody o bla bla, strife goes on aaha
la la la la strife goes on

Molly had a poodle such a pretty thing
had its own dog blanket and a bed
but Desmond's little shitzu was an ugly git
you'd think that he'd been stopping buses with his head !!!

O bloody o bla bla strife goes on aaha
la la la la strife goes on

Happy ever after in the market place
Desmond sold his barrow to a Greek
who turns up in the morning selling figs and olives
to the easily misled public twice a week

O bloody o bla bla strife goes on aaha
la la la la strife goes on

O bloody o bla bla strife goes on aaha
la la la la strife goes oooooon
sing obloodyblabla!!!!!!
