Wouldn't it be a bit less clumsy to just make up a lyrics
correspondence, possibly with several sylables per note.  Then
whatever lily wanted do do with the line breaks, some words would go
with the note.  For instance:

\lyrics{When~in~disgrace with~fortune~and men's~eyes}

would put the lyrics with the first three notes.
