You might use a little helper function, to reduce typing:
--snip--
\version "2.12.3"
lskip = #(define-music-function (parser location count)(integer?)
#{
\repeat unfold $count { \skip 4 }
#})
% random music with random lyrics and a counted skip in verse two
\relative c' {
e g a b c d d c
}
\addlyrics {
a b c d e f g h
}
\addlyrics {
i j \lskip #4 l m
}
\addlyrics {
n o p q r s t u
}
--snip--
Hope it helps.
Cheers,
Jan-Peter

The documentation says that the number of the skip is ignored in the
lyrics but still has to be there. I am glad to learn the \repeat
unfold tip too though. I have been typing '_' to space out areas in
lyrics because it takes too long to type the '\skip 8'.

Thank you. It works.
What "8" means on the \skip 8? I use "4" and I get the same result.
The 120 notes are a mixture of eight- note, quarter-note, half-note
and some dotted-note.

It seems

<Use repeats, if I understood well this should work:
<\repeat unfold 120 { \skip 8 }
