Actually, the origin of the lyrics is already the baseline, as the
following example shows. So it should just be a matter of finding the
right default for minimum-distance.
\version "2.13.10"
<<
{ c'' c'' c'' c'' }
\new Lyrics \lyricmode { d }
\new Lyrics \lyricmode { p }

\layout {
\context {
\Lyrics
\override VerticalAxisGroup #'inter-loose-line-spacing = #'((space .
0) (minimum-distance . 0) (padding . -20))
}
}
