Does this work by putting the two verses of lyrics between the two
piano staves (which is what I am trying to achieve)?

Previously, I had:
    \context Staff = "upper" \PianoRH
    \context Lyrics \firstVerse
    \context Lyrics \secondVerse
    \context Staff = "lower" <<
      \clef bass
      \PianoLH
    >>
So should I change the context of both to the same as the context for
the lyrics?

I tried this:

\score {
  \new GrandStaff <<
    \oldaddlyrics
    \context Staff = "song" \PianoRH
    \context Lyrics = song \lyricsto song
    \simultaneous { \firstVerse
                    \new Lyrics \secondVerse }
    \context Staff = "song" <<
      \clef bass
      \PianoLH
    >>
  >>
  \layout {
    \context {
      \GrandStaff
      \accepts "Lyrics"
    }
    \context {
      %\Lyrics
      \Lyrics
      %\consists "Bar_engraver"
    }
  }  
  \midi { }  
}

but now I have only one staff, and there are no lyrics.  I am sorry
that I am not smart enough to understand what you have told me!
