Hi,

how about:

\version "2.14.2"

foo = \lyricmode { start \p quiet -- ly \cresc and get loud -- er \f }

xy = { 
        \relative c' {
                a2\< b4 c8 a\! 
                b4\mp c2 d4\ff 
        }
}
 
\score {
        \new Staff <<
           \new Voice = "mel" \xy
           \new Lyrics \with { \consists Dynamic_engraver } 
                      \lyricsto "mel" \foo
        >>
}

Cheers,
  Harm
