Thanks, Simon.
What I ended up realizing is that I can have a \new Voice _within_ a voice so
am just doing
\new Voice = "words" {
c4 d e f | g1 | % la la la la la.
\new Voice = "lil_melody" {
g4 a g a | g a g a |
}
g f e d | c1 | % la la la la la.
}
\score {
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "words" \verse_one
}
