I was just thinking about a possible hack, something that would
allow to write for instance:

##s(Staff Lyric) {
  c' d' e' f' | bon -- jour mon -- sieur
  d' e' f' g' | bla bla bla bla
#}

==>

\context Staff = "uniqueContext123" \notemode { 
  c' d' e' f' |
  d' e' f' g' | 
}
\lyricsto "uniqueContext123" \lyricmode {
  bon -- jour mon -- sieur 
  bla bla bla bla
}

This is feasible, but, hm, ugly.
