An easier solution may be to View->DVI in LyX, and (while the DVI
file is open) cruise to the temp directory LyX is using. There
should be a copy of the .bbl file there.
Thanks, Paul. How would I find this temporary directory?

Suggestions?

a .bbl file? I know I need to "run BibTeX on the .bib file," but
I'm not sure how to do this using TeXShop.
Any help would be appreciated.

You have to export to latex, run latex against the .tex file (this
produces the .aux file), then run bibtex against the .tex file.
