If it is just the lyrics, you could call it a book of poetry and copyright the whole thing together.

All the advice like mailing it in an envelope or emailing to to yourself will give you shoddy protection at best. If you ever come into a situation where you have to prove the works are yours and yours alone you want them officially registered at the copyright office.

Just call it a book of poetry and send it all in together.
