Hi Dan,

still not sure I really understood what you are after...
Though, how about below?
Admittedly, it's only the sketch of an idea, but seems to work



music =
\new Voice = "m" \repeat volta 2 \relative c'' { c4 c8 c c4 c }

lyrI = \lyricmode { Aa Bb Bb Aa Aa }
lyrII = \lyricmode { Cc Dd Dd Cc Cc }

lyr-ls = #(list lyrI lyrII)

<<
  \music
  $@(map (lambda (e) #{ \new Lyrics \lyricsto "m" $e #}) lyr-ls)
>>


\unfoldRepeats
<<
  \music
  \new Lyrics \lyricsto "m" { address@hidden }
>>


Cheers,
  Harm
