To the tune of "Last Night of the World" from Miss Saigon.

Scene: 

Lily and James, having been tipped off the Voldemort is coming after 
them, make plans for protecting their baby.

JAMES:

Look at Harry sleeping in peace
Doesn't have a care in the least
We must guard him
We must guard him

LILY:

He is safe with a mother's love
The strongest force that I can think of
It will save him
It will save him

JAMES:

Why on Earth did we let Peter in?

LILY

Sirius thought it would be the best way to win.

JAMES:

We'll be safe here as long
as Peter holds on

Tonight
We will protect our baby boy
A strapping boy

LILY:

A handsome boy

BOTH:

A child that will survive
if we do not

We will protect our baby boy
Not only here
but when we're ghosts
Someday
He'll the best hope
wizards have. 

JAMES:

On the other side of the door
I can hear the fiend Voldemort
I will fight him

LILY:

I'll wait for you

JAMES:

Run Lily, I will hold him off
Keeping running and do not stop

BOTH:

It looks like Peter gave in
We're not going to live

Tonight
We will protect our baby boy
A strapping boy
A handsome boy
A boy that is the best 
of both of us
We will protect our baby boy
Not only here
but when we're ghosts
Someday
he'll be the best hope
wizards have

LILY:

James
What happened to you?

JAMES: (dying)

Lily
It's now all up to you

BOTH:

Voldemort will kill us both
But Harry will 
avenge

Tonight
We will protect our baby boy
Don't cry Harry
we're always here
You are the best hope
wizards have
