My immediate reaction was to "keep it simple" by minimising the number of 
voices:

\score {
\new Staff << {
\new Voice = "unsung"  { \unsungmelodyA }
\new Voice = "sung" { \sungmelodyOne }
\context Voice = "unsung" { \unsungmelodyB }
\context Voice = "sung" { \sungmelodyTwo }
\context Voice = "unsung" { \unsungmelodyC }
\context Voice = "sung" { \sungmelodyThree }
}
\new Lyrics \lyricsto  "sung" {\wordsA \wordsB \wordsB }
>>
}

Unfortunately, this completely omits all except the first set of words, for 
reasons that are not apparent to me.

Best wishes,
