Make PDF Booklet will create a PDF document containing tag info from the selected tracks (or every track from the selected playlist) and then add the PDF to iTunes and copy it to the playlist where the selected tracks reside.

Script of the Day: Clipboard to Lyrics Scripts
Clipboard to Lyrics Scriptstwo scripts, "Clipboard to Current Track's Lyrics" and "Clipboard to Selected Track's Lyrics"will copy text from the clipboard (text you have copied from an email, text document or web page, for instance) to, respectively, the current track's or selected track's lyrics.
So, rather than open a track's Get Info window and click to the Lyrics tab, you only need to select a track (or play a track) and the launch script; it knows to copy the clipboard text to that track's Lyrics tag. This works even better when assigned a keyboard shortcut.
