an expression with lyrics is also a normal music expression, I think. E.g.:

\version "2.13.44"

bla = #
(define-music-function (parser location lyrics) (ly:music?)
  (music-map
    (lambda (m)
      (if (equal? (ly:music-property m 'name) 'LyricEvent)
          (ly:music-set-property! m 'text (string-append "BLA" 
(ly:music-property 
m 'text))))
      m) lyrics))


text = \lyricmode {
  hi there!
}

\new Lyrics \bla \text


best regards,
