Something like these should work:

\newcommand{\rpt}{%
        \raisebox{.2ex}{:}%
        \raisebox{-.4ex}{\rule{.1ex}{2.5ex}\,\rule{.3ex}{2.5ex}}}
\newcommand{\revrpt}{%
        \raisebox{-.4ex}{\rule{.3ex}{2.5ex}\,\rule{.1ex}{2.5ex}}%
        \raisebox{.2ex}{:}}

They use all relative sizes, so they should be ok with pretty much any
font and size.  Stick them into your preamble and then you can just say

 \revrpt\ This is my song \rpt

HTH.
