Ah, I forgot about var.1 etc

Ofcourse below is a bit ugly I'd say:

val.1 = "foo"
<<
  \new Staff \repeat unfold 4 c'4
  \new Lyrics \lyricmode { \val.1 4 \val.1 2 \val.1 4 }
>>

Another possibility is to use superscript like
val² = ...
Ofcourse it's soso...
It works not because it's supported but because it's not disallowed.
Which may change in the future.
