You might use a little helper function, to reduce typing:
--snip--
\version "2.12.3"
lskip = #(define-music-function (parser location count)(integer?)
#{
\repeat unfold $count { \skip 4 }
#})
% random music with random lyrics and a counted skip in verse two
\relative c' {
e g a b c d d c
The documentation says that the number of the skip is ignored in the lyrics
but still has to be there. I am glad to learn the \repeat unfold tip too
though. I have been typing '_' to space out areas in lyrics because it takes
too long to type the '\skip 8'.

Thank you. It works.
What "8" means on the \skip 8? I use "4" and I get the same result. The 120
notes are a mixture of eight- note, quarter-note, half-note and some
dotted-note.

I have two verses for a score. The score has 30 measures (bars). However only
first 4 measures and last 4 measure have distinct two verses, the middle
sections lyrics of two verses are identical.
Right low I code verse 2 with lyrics for first 4 measure follow with 120 " "
