[With apologies for repeatedly mailing the list...]

Perhaps a better way, if you want to use alignBelowContext instead,
is to assign a name to the Lyrics context itself, like:

\version "2.18.2"

\score {
  <<
    \new Staff <<
      \new Voice = "soprano" \relative c' {
        e4 d c d e e e r
      }
      \new Lyrics = "soprano-lyrics" \lyricsto "soprano" {
        Ma -- ry had a 
        <<
          { lit -- tle lamb, }
          \new Lyrics \with { 
            alignBelowContext = #"soprano-lyrics"
          } {
            \set associatedVoice = #"soprano"
            laz -- er bat,
          }
        >>
      }
    >>
    \new Staff = "bass-staff" <<
      \new Voice = "bass" \relative c {
        \clef bass
        c4 c g' g a a g r
      }
    >>
  >>
}

And that produces the "better" spacing that I like in the "\skip"
version, too. (Sometimes it's fun to rethink a problem you think
you've already solved...)

Best,
Tyler
