You could try
\addTextSpannerText \markupMap LyricEvent.text
\markup \upright \bold \etc
\lyricmode { "accelerando molto --
al --
"Vivace (2 = 138)" }
This is not particularly fabulous I'll readily admit and requires a
suitably current version. But you could put the bulk in a macro
\addTempoText =
\addTextSpannerText \markupMap LyricEvent.text
\markup \upright \bold \etc \etc
Uh, maybe?

\concat { "Vivace (" \note #"2" " = 138)" }
