Try this:

\version "2.19.15"
\language "english"

melismaOff = \set ignoreMelismata = ##t
melismaOn = \unset ignoreMelismata

theNotes = {
  \key d \major
  \time 6/8
  \clef treble
  d'2.\fermata ~   |
  <d' fs'>2.\fermata _~   |
  <d' fs' a'>2.\fermata   |
}

theZZZs = \lyricmode {
  \melismaOff
  Zzzz
  Zzzz
  Zzzz
  \melismaOn
}

\score {
  <<
    \new Staff \new Voice \theNotes
    \addlyrics \theZZZs
  >>
}

Hope this helps!
Kieren.
