Just write it down when creating the button:

dlgPushButton("This is the button text");

A complete working (but useless) ULP:

dlgDialog(filename(argv[0])) {

    dlgPushButton("This is the button text");

};

OK So how do you create a toolbar button (I have seen some people referring to these buttons as button texts) hence the incorrect question

The MENU command will accomplish this. Make sure you have 'Command Texts' enabled in the User Interface options. From inside eagle, type 'HELP MENU' for a detailed description.

Here's the schematic section of my eagle.scr file that uses command texts and context menus.

Hope it helps.
