You can do that by writing a "custom scoreblock" - e.g. in the View-
>LilyPond View towards the end is the section with the Score Layout
which you can customize (e.g. turn off continuous typesetting, open the
LilyPond View scroll down to the "Score Layout Options" button and
choose "Customize Score Layout" and then re-write what's there using
the names for the music which are defined earlier).

However, I don't see why you can't just create a piano staff and use
"Add Lyrics" with the cursor in the upper staff - attached is an
example I just made. I did File->Open->Standard Template and chose
Instruments->Keyboard->Piano and the put in some notes, put the cursor
in the top staff and did Lyrics->Add Lyric Verse and then typed some
lyrics into the lyric pane.

did you have some notes for the lyrics to be placed under???

There may be some special reason for the example shown in the link you
gave, in which case ask again as there are better ways of creating the
custom score layout which don't involve typing in LilyPond syntax.
