Yes, Phil, but the lyrics must dependent of the notes in the score.
For example:

\score {
\relative c' { a4 b c d e1 }
\addlyrics{ aa- bb- cc- dd ee }
}
is OK but after underlining

\score {
\relative c' { a4 b c d e1 }
\addlyrics{ aa- \markup { \underline "bb- cc- dd" }  ee }
}
the correspondence is a4 -> "aa-", b4 -> "bb- cc- dd", c4 -> d, ...
