It's campy and hackish, but enter your lyrics as "%" and "|" (or whatever
symbols you want). Write it like this:

Dm7 G7 Dm7 G7 Em7 A7
% % % % | % % % % | % % % % |

et cetera, and so on.

Hopefully someone'll be able to give you a better suggestion though...

A Pope has a Water Cannon.                               It is a Water Cannon.
He fires Holy-Water from it.                        It is a Holy-Water Cannon.
He Blesses it.                                 It is a Holy Holy-Water Cannon.
He Blesses the Hell out of it.          It is a Wholly Holy Holy-Water Cannon.
He has it pierced.                It is a Holey Wholly Holy Holy-Water Cannon.
He makes it official.      It is a Cannon Holey Wholly Holy Holy-Water Cannon.
Batman and Robin arrive.                                       He shoots them.
