Try this: (you might want to split up the lyrics into pieces anyways, that 
usually makes things more structured)

\version "2.2.2"

\score {
        <<
        \new Staff \notes \relative c' {
                \context Voice = instrument  { c8 d e d c2 }
                \context Voice = singerA { e8 f g f e2 }
                \context Voice = instrument { g8 f e d e2 }
                \context Voice = singerB { e8 d c b c2 }
                \context Voice = instrument { d8 d e d c2 }
                \context Voice = singerC { d8 d e d c2 }
        }
        \new Lyrics \lyrics <<
          \lyricsto singerA { Pam -- pam -- pam -- pam -- pam. }
          \lyricsto singerB { La -- la -- la -- la -- la. }
          \lyricsto singerC { Blah -- blah -- blah -- blah -- blah. }
        }       
        >>
}
