LilyPond's output should be calling your attention to a bad grob 
property path with your \override command.  Make sure to check the 
documentation (Notation Reference and Internals) to ensure you have the 
right name.  The Visual Index is also a helpful tool, which soon will be 
integrated into the official documentation.

In this case, LyricText and potentially also LyricHyphen would be the 
grobs you need to be modifying.  However, there is perhaps an easier 
option using a context property:

%%%%
  \new Lyrics \with { fontSize = -3 }
%%%%
