ENTER  SNAPE and LUPIN, tapdancing in top hats and tails

ALL:
Once in love with Lily, always in love with Lily
Ever and ever, like a glowing ember, we will all remember the flame

SNAPE:
Once you're dissed by Lily, there's no resist-ing Lily
Ply her with potions, poetry, devotions, she's in your affections to
stay

That's why I hate that little Harry Potter, he's got her green eyes
I tried to save poor Lily from the slaughter, but she got fried.

But once in love with Lily, always in love with Lily
Willy or nilly, she's my favorite filly, trouble is the answer will be
That Lily is as dead as she can be.

ALL:
Once in love with Lily, always in love with Lily
Ever and ever, like a glowing ember, we will all remember the flame.

LUPIN:

Once in love with Lily, she was there for me, my Lily
Werewolf or human, still my love was bloomin, when the moon was full
or on wane
 
No more was I a fickle-hearted lone wolf, my own wolf to stay
If Lily only loved me  like a brother,  still that's okay [sobs]


[From beyond a certain veil, the voice of James joins in]
ALL:
Once in love with Lily, always in love with Lily
Ever and ever, like a glowing ember, we will all remember the flame

JAMES:
Once you're dissed by Lily, there's no resist-ing  Lily
Scribbled her initial, then made it official, Padfoot was the best
man that day 


Once I was  but  a moonlit midnight rover, a bully, a berk
Lily made me stop and think it over, now I'm no jerk

But once in love with Lily, always in love with Lily
Ever and ever, we will be together, sorry guys the answer will be
That Lily'd rather stay in love with me.
