How do I sneak lyrics into that section? Recognizing that the music

star" is a little ways down)... but it /would/ be nice to get them all on
the same line. ^_^
Thanks in advance for any input.

I'd advise you to avoid << {} \\ {} >> for all but the most basic of polyphony, since it's basically a shortcut which can cause problems, as you've found out.
A better way would be to instatiate the lower voice as a new voice, so that the main voice remains "twinkle":
\version "2.10.25"
\paper {
ragged-right = ##t
}
\score {
<<
\new Voice="twinkle" \relative c' {
c c g' g
\voiceOne
<< {
a4 a g2
\oneVoice
}
\new Voice { \voiceTwo
f4 f e2
} >>
\bar "|."
}
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "twinkle" {
Twin -- kle, twin -- kle, lit -- tle star.
}
>>
}
