How do you solve a problem like James Potter? (Lily's thoughts) [to the tune of:

How do you solve a problem like Maria? (The sisters of the abbey) [The Sound of Music]

(If you dont understand the song beat

or dont know it play (kareoke tune) of the song! :D)

(Lily yelling at Sirius, Remus, & Peter

and she is mad that he keeps bugging Snape AGAIN!)

Verse 1:

Lily (Looking at Remus):

He climbed a tree, and [Whomping Willow-] it broke his knee!

Sirius (smirking) :Cuz, He doesn't have a care!

Lily (rolling eyes): He runs on his way to class!

Remus (Watching Lily): And chases Snape down the stairs!

Lily (glaring at Sirius) : And inside his robes pocket, he

has a golden snitch hidden there!

Remus (sarcastically shocked): I even heard him fighting

(Snape) in the library!

Verse 2:

Lily (looking at Remus):He always messes up in potions-

Remus (rolling his eyes):-But his determinations real!

Lily (shouting): He's always late for everything!

Remus & Sirius (smiling): Except for quidditch and meals!

Lily (smiling with arms crossed) :I hate to have to say it!

But I very firmly feel,

Potter's not an asset to wizardry!

Peter (overly giddy) :I wanna say something on Jame's 'half!

Lily (eyebrow raised):Why?

[Lily, Remus, & Sirius wait for a answer...]

Peter: Because, James' makes me laugh!

(Peter laughs [and so do Remus and Sirius] & Lily glares at

them thinking about Sev's Potter problem out loud.)

Chorus:

Lily (looking at the willow) :HOW do you solve a problem like James Potter?

HOW do you catch a Bludger & pin it down?

Peter: HOW do you find a word that means James Potter?

Lily:A toerag,

Peter, & Sirius(laughing STILL):A funny guy!

Remus(annoyed):A ruddy clown!

(Sirius glares at Remus & Lily)

Remus(still annoyed): MANY a thing you know you'd like to tell him.

Lily: MANY a thing he ought to understand!

Remus & Lily (singing) :But, HOW do you make him stay-

(Remus & Lily are singing different things at the same time)

(1)Lily: And stop tormenting Sev (Snape) all day?

(2)Remus: And listen to what you always say!

Sirius(laughing) HOW do you keep a broom upon the ground?

Lily: HOW do you solve a problem like James Potter?

Lily & Remus: HOW do you catch a snitch in your hand...?

Verse 3::

Remus(looking at Lily): When I'm with him, I feel confused-

Sirius (glaring at Remus & Lily)-your both out of my mind-

Remus (laughing):-and choas insues!

And I sometimes dont understand whats going on.

Lily (laughing): He'd outbugger any bug! Drive a mouse from (under a) rug!

Remus (laughing with Lily): He could throw the whomping willow out of whomp!

Sirius: He is funny!

Lily: He's too wild!

Remus: He's insane!

Peter:But he's just-

Sirius (glaring a Peter): -he's NOT a child!

Lily:He's a jerk!

Sirius & Peter (glaring at Lily) :He is NOT!

Remus (laughing) :He's a joy!

Lily (staring at Remus) :He's a WHAT?

(Sirius & Peter laughing again)

Remus (laughing):He's a boy!

(Chorus repeat!)

Lily (looking at the willow AGAIN) :HOW do you solve a problem like James Potter?

HOW do you catch a Bludger & pin it down?

Peter: HOW do you find a word that means James Potter?

Lily:A toerag,

Peter, & Sirius(laughing STILL):A funny guy!

Remus(annoyed):A ruddy clown!

(Sirius glares at Remus & Lily)

Remus(still annoyed): MANY a thing you know you'd like to tell him.

Lily: MANY a thing he ought to understand!

Remus & Lily (singing) :But, HOW do you make him stay-

(Remus & Lily are singing different things at the same time)

(1)Lily: And stop tormenting Sev (Snape) all day?

(2)Remus: And listen to what you always say!

Sirius(laughing) HOW do you keep a broom upon the ground?

Lily: HOW do you solve a problem like James Potter?

[Lily sees Severus running and runs and gives him a hug.]

[James Potter runs at Snape but runs away screaming as Lily throws hexes at him!]

[Severus & Remus laughing as Sirius & Peter run after James!]

Lily (singing quietly): HOW do you catch a snitch...in...your...hand...?
