This is the paper block I use to get page numbers at the bottom of the 
page and still have a tagline at the foot of the last page. You should 
be able to just change the text to be output for the last page situation.

\paper {
    #(define (print-positive-page-number layout props arg)
        (if (> (chain-assoc-get 'page:page-number props -1) 0)
            (create-page-number-stencil layout props arg)
                empty-stencil))

    %% cf. ly/titling-init.ly
    #(define (not-last-page layout props arg)
        (if (and (chain-assoc-get 'page:is-bookpart-last-page props #f)
            (chain-assoc-get 'page:is-last-bookpart props #f))
            empty-stencil
            (interpret-markup layout props arg)))

    #(set-paper-size "a4")
    print-first-page-number = ##f
    top-margin = 1\cm
    bottom-margin = 0.6\cm
    outer-margin = 1\cm
    inner-margin = 1\cm
    two-sided = ##t
    ragged-bottom = ##f
    ragged-last-bottom = ##f
    ragged-last = ##f
    oddHeaderMarkup = \markup \fill-line { " " }
    evenHeaderMarkup = \markup \fill-line { " " }
    oddFooterMarkup = \markup \fill-line { \column {
        \on-the-fly #not-last-page \on-the-fly #not-first-page 
\fromproperty #'page:page-number-string
        \on-the-fly #last-page \fromproperty #'header:tagline
    } }
    evenFooterMarkup = \markup \fill-line { \column {
        \on-the-fly #not-last-page \on-the-fly #not-first-page 
\fromproperty #'page:page-number-string
        \on-the-fly #last-page \fromproperty #'header:tagline
    } }
}
