Try \mapFoo \lyricmode { ... } instead, making \mapFoo a music
function. You then iterate through the music using something like
mapFoo =
#(define-music-function (parser location music) (ly:music?)
(for-each
(lambda (m)
(set! (ly:music-property m 'text)
#{ \markup \foo $(ly:music-property m 'text) #}))
(extract-typed-music music 'lyric-text)))
