This isn't meant to be sung by a singer. This is from a beginner's piano method (I'm a piano teacher). The words are to give a sense of the stress in the meter, to give the player an idea of the mood of the piece, and possibly for the player to sing along. The slurs, though, are entirely for the pianist and have nothing to do with the lyrics. I don't really have an opinion if it is a good idea to introduce young musicians to non-standard notation. Personally, my students and I pretty much ignore the texts (which are usually of poor quality anyway) and play as it were a normal piano score.
