It is simple — so simple, you probably didn’t think it would work:

\version "2.23.14"

theMusic = {
  \repeat volta 2 {
    g'4 4 4 4
    \alternative { { f'1 } { c''1 } }
  }
}

theLyrics = \lyricmode {
  The an -- swer is quite plain.
}

<<
  \new Staff \new Voice \theMusic
  \addlyrics \theLyrics
>>

Hope that helps!
Kieren.
