I think lex is defined as printing out input text if nothing else is
done to it.  You need to make a rule to dispose of unwanted text.
(I'm not sure though.  Have you looked in a lex book?)

This should also match the apostrophe.  Try [A-Za-z_] with no apostrophe.

If input other than reserved words is also case insensitive, then it is
probably faster to fold all input text into one case before lexing.
