you don't need to specify \accepts Lyrics !

if you place the Lyrics between the upper and lower staff you'll get what
you want:

  \new PianoStaff 
%   \with { \accepts Lyrics } 
  << 
    \new Staff = upper { 
      \clef G
      \relative c'  { c8 d  \new Voice = "one" { e8 [ f g a ] }
        b8 a g f e d c }
    }
    \new Lyrics \lyricsto "one" { ba da di do }
    \new Staff = lower { … }
>> }
