    Try this

    $.get('gallery-lightbox.html', function (data) {
     var lb_content = data+'<p>some text</p>';    
       $('#lightbox').html(lb_content);
       positionLightboxImage();
});

    OR

     $.get('gallery-lightbox.html', function (data) {
           $('#lightbox').append(data).append('<p>some text</p>');
           positionLightboxImage();
    });

    And make sure your gallery-lightbox.html file doesn’t have <html> or <body> tag etc. it should only have the <div> or an element that you can actually put inside your #lightbox
