When making first attempts, it is sometimes helpful to start with
a small example.

I'm not much more experienced with lyrics than you are, but I
believe you need to use \new Lyrics for each stanza you want to
add.

Jim

music = \new Voice = "singer" { e'4 d' c'2 \bar "|." }

firstStanza = \lyricmode { Three blind mice.  }

secondStanza = \lyricmode { Out to lunch.  }

thirdStanza = \lyricmode { Quid pro quo.  }

\score {
  <<
    \music
    \new Lyrics \lyricsto "singer" \firstStanza
    \new Lyrics \lyricsto "singer" \secondStanza
    \new Lyrics \lyricsto "singer" \thirdStanza
  >>
}
