Hi Curt,
After a bit of tinkering with your second code, and constant reference
to the Notation Reference, :) I have come up with the following which
does, I 'think', do what you require. Note the settings for raggedness
in the \paper block, and the relocation of \textLengthOn.
I hope this helps
Regards
Bill

\version "2.15.43"

\paper {
left-margin = 25
ragged-right = ##t
ragged-last = ##f

}
songLyrics = \lyricmode
{
"My small girl of five wants a"1
"story good-night she likes"
"kittens and pebbles and"
"fairies asleep in the"
"trees"
}
slash = \relative { \textLengthOn b1 }
\score

\new Staff
\with { \remove Note_heads_engraver }
{ \repeat unfold 5 \slash }
\new Lyrics { \songLyrics }
