You must also specify what type of objects you want to set the font-size for.
This will work.
{ c' d' e' f' g' }
\addlyrics {
\override LyricsText #'font-size = #2
One two three four five
}
you can also just use:
{ c' d' e' f' g' }
\addlyrics {
\huge One two three \teeny four five
}

Re: override lyric font size
You're relying on several short-cuts here,
which occasionally do not work the way you
expect. When inexplicable errors occur it
is often useful to add all the \new ...
commands explicitly.
Also the syntax of the override command is
incorrect. As Mats said, most of the problems
will go away if you read the Learning Manual
(again, if necessary) and apply what you learn
there.
Slightly trickier is changing the fontsize of
all Lyrics (only). The easiest way is to set
the fontsize of LyricText in the Score context.

Subject: override lyric font size
Hello,
Here I want to change the font size of the lyrics. I've placed
\override #' font-size = # -2
before \addlyrics, just after it, inside the brackets, and various
other
combinations with << >>. How do I make the lyrics smaller here?
And probably more important, is there a way I should be looking at
this
problem that will allow me to figure similar ones out by myself?
(example: I can't figure out why the extra { } is required inside
\score { }.)
\version "2.12.2"
\layout {
ragged-right = ##f
}
\score {
{
\set Staff.instrumentName = "1"
\clef bass
\time 2/4
\relative c {
c8 c c4 d8 d d4 e8 e e4 c2 \bar "|."
}
\addlyrics {One and Two One and Two }
}
}
Thanks,
Gerard

Re: override lyric font size
None of these answers provide a method that also can be used to change
the setting in the middle of the score.
I'd say that the most immediate answer to the original question is to use
...
\addlyrics { \override LyricText #'font-size = #-2 One and Two
One and Two }
...
even though the alternative to use the context property fontSize is
perhaps even simpler in this particular example, as I pointed out earlier.

You can override font-size in \layout block:
\layout {
ragged-right = ##f
\context {
\Score
\override LyricText #'font-size = #-2
}
}
And probably more important, is there a way I should be looking at

You can use explicitly instantiated named contexts and set font-size on
per-context basic, see below.
(example: I can't figure out why the extra { } is required inside
\score { }.)
\version "2.12.2"
\layout {
ragged-right = ##f
}
\score {
{
\set Staff.instrumentName = "1"
\clef bass
\time 2/4
\relative c {
c8 c c4 d8 d d4 e8 e e4 c2 \bar "|."
}
\addlyrics {One and Two One and Two }
}
}
\score {
\new Staff <<
\set Staff.instrumentName = "1"
\clef bass
\time 2/4
\new Voice = "melody" {
\relative c {
c8 c c4 d8 d d4 e8 e e4 c2 \bar "|."
}
}
\new Lyrics \with {
\override LyricText #'font-size = #-2
} \lyricsto "melody" { One and Two One and Two }
>>
}
(You can use variables for melody and lyrics to have cleaner \score
block).
Thanks,
Gerard

Re: override lyric font size
You should also look at Section "3.3.4 Modifying context properties"
which mentions the fontSize property which is a so-called context
property and affects the font size of everything that's printed within
the current so- called context (such as the Lyrics context used to
typeset your lyrics). This gives the simplest solution in your example:
...
\addlyrics {\set fontSize = #-2 One and Two One and Two }
...
