An update on for 2.3.24: Default spacing is now rather perverse in an 
interesting way: A simple song with lyrics (with or without chords) 
always gets stretched so one staff ends up on a second page, as 
evidenced by this example (the same behavior shows up in the 
simple-song example included with lilypond).

\version "2.3.23"

\header {
        title   = "My One And Only Love"
        poet    = "Robert Mellin"
        composer= "Guy Wood"
}

melody =  \relative c' {
        \key c \major
        c1 | \break
        c1 | \break
        c1
}

text = \lyricmode {
        a b c d
}

\score {
        \simultaneous {
          \context Voice = "mel" \melody
          \lyricsto "mel" \new Lyrics \text
        }
}
