Hi list,

I have the following code for a short song I'm engraving:

\version "2.19.82"

\header {
  title = "QUITE ENGLISH"
  composer = \markup { { \smallCaps "A.S. Ramsay" } (fl. 1885) }
  poet = \markup { { \smallCaps "W.S. Douglass" } (fl. 1885–1888) }
  tagline = ##f
}


\paper {
  #(set-paper-size "a4")
  top-margin = 10
  bottom-margin = 10
  left-margin = 10
  right-margin = 10
  last-bottom-spacing.minimum-distance = 10

}

\layout {
  \context {
    \Voice
    \consists "Melody_engraver"
    \override Stem #'neutral-direction = #'()
  }
}

\layout {
  \context {
    \Staff
    \RemoveAllEmptyStaves
  }
}

global = {
  \key f \major
  \numericTimeSignature
  \time 3/4
  \tempo "Moderato."
}

lead = \chordmode {
 \partial 4 s4
 R2.*8
 f2.
 f2.
 g2.:m
 g:m


}

sopranoVoice = \relative c'' {
    \global
  \dynamicUp
  \partial 4 r4 | R2.*7 r2 \bar "||" \break
  c4 | d c4. a8 |
  a4 bes a |
  a g fis |
  g2 f?4 | \break

}

verseOne = \lyricmode {
  \set stanza = "1."
  What queer things we see and what queer things we do, That's


}

verseTwo = \lyricmode {
  \set stanza = "2."
  They sent us an act -- or to show us the way, That's

}
verseThree = \lyricmode {
  \set stanza = "3."
  They sent us a box -- er from o -- ver the sea, That's

}


right = \relative c'' {
  \global
  \partial 4 c4 | d c4. a8 |
  a4 bes a |
  a g fis |
  g2 f?4 |
  e8 f g a bes c |
  d2 e4 |
  f2 \ottava #1 <f a c f>4 |
  <f a c f>2 \ottava #0 \bar "||" \break
  \partial 4 r4 | r <a,, c f> <a c f> |
  r <a c f> <a c f> |
  r <bes d g> <bes d g> |
  r <bes d g> <bes d g> | \break

}

left = \relative c' {
  \global
  \partial 4 r4 | f, <a c> <a c> |
  f <a c> <a c> |
  c, <g' bes> <g bes> |
  c, <g' bes> <g bes> |
  c, <g' bes> <g bes> |
  c, <g' bes> <g bes> |
  <f a c>2 <f, f'>4 |
  <f f'>2 \bar "||" \break
  r4 | <f f'> r r |
  <f f'> r r |
  bes r r |
  bes r r | \break



}

sopranoVoicePart = \new Staff \with {
  instrumentName = ""
} { \sopranoVoice }
\addlyrics { \verseOne }
\addlyrics { \verseTwo }
\addlyrics { \verseThree }

pianoPart = \new PianoStaff \with {
  instrumentName = "Piano"
} <<
  \new Staff = "right" \right
  \new Staff = "left" { \clef bass \left }
>>

\score {
  <<
    \new ChordNames \lead
    \sopranoVoicePart
    \pianoPart
  >>
  \layout { }
}


Since all 3 verses have "That's" at the end of the line, I would like to
combine them into one line of lyrics (preferably with a curly bracket
showing the change). I've attached a little picture that shows what I want
to do.
