LyricWiki is a free site which is a single source where anyone can go to get reliable lyrics for any song from any artist "without being hammered by invasive ads". (- emphasis on invasive: it has ads on the site for users who are not logged in.)
LyricWiki contains lyrics to more than 1,134,000 songs on nearly 67,000 albums by 44,000 artists. The more than 1.5 million content pages are categorized by artist, album, song-name, genre and hometown of band. Some songs also have translations.
This wiki was named the 'DreamHost Site of the Month' (DHSOTM) for April 2006, and was shortly thereafter featured on Digg and in a Lifehacker article.
This is probably the largest MediaWiki on the internet other than Wikipedia (source source 2).
Website was at LyricWiki.org, but is now hosted at Wikia.
