quoted text in lyric

[Stan Sanderson]

A phrase in a lyric is quoted. Lilypond interprets "text" to have two 
ending (smart) quotes rather than
a) a beginning quote, text, an ending quote (which is preferred) or,
b) plain straight quotes.

I tried using backslashes \"text\" but got the same results.

I didn't find an answer in the archives- I'd be grateful for any 
suggestions.

Thanks-

Stan
