I'd like to hear a lexicographer's take on this lyric/lyrics controversy. Have a bit of history here.

Now where could we find a lexicographer? Hmmmmm....I see a vision rising! And it has a great cape! And on its chest is emblazoned--yes, I can see it taking form--a great 't'!!!

It's a bird...no, it's a plane...it's tsuwmperman!!!

OK, tsuwmperman! Tell us the tales of those times when lyric has been used to mean the words of a song!

Best regards,
