I can't think of a specific phrasal verb which I associate with "to enjoy". "Lap for" is not an English phrasal verb and it doesn't make sense. Where have you seen it?

No, there is no phrasal verb with "enjoy". No, "lap for" is not similar to "enjoy" and "lap for" is not a phrasal verb.
 
But if you have a really good time you can have yourself a ball. Not a phrasal verb by most definitions, but it's a multi-word idiom.

You can "boogie on down" at a nightclub/disco. It means to dance but I guess you would probably be enjoying yourself. People are sometimes said to "get down" in the same way. Both those phrases are a little old-fashioned and are associated with the 1970s.
 
There is a phrase "lap something up" but it is usually a slightly negative connotation to mean people were hearing/believing something with eagerness.

"Can you believe the nonsense this guy is saying? Yet his audience is lapping it up. What a bunch of mindless drones."
That doesn't mean "enjoy."
