Well, the words show on the page, but it doesn't work correctly
as you can see from this slightly modified example. The first "yes" of the 
first verse gets associated to a wrong note.

Cheers,
Matti

% The first "yes" gets connected to a wrong note (a instead of g).

\paper{ ragged-right=##t }  

<< \new Voice = "melody" {
         \time 2/4
         e4 e
<< \new Voice = "alternate" 
    {\stemDown  d'2. }
    {\stemUp a4 a }
>> \stemNeutral |
g4 g
}

 \new Lyrics  \lyricsto melody \lyricmode {
       play \set associatedVoice = #"alternate" the \set associatedVoice =
#"melody" game
        yes yes
}

 \new Lyrics \lyricsto melody \lyricmode {
     do  not
     play it 
     no no
      } >>
