Yes, there are several ways to enter it literally using a unicode
aware text editor.

But can I make a definition and expansion in lilypond?

E.g. (this doens't for for several reasons, but you get the idea)

    apos = \lyricsmode {
      ... a real U+2019 symbol or some other way to specify it ...
    }
    text = \lyricsmode {
      There{\apos}s a foobar ...
    }
