I would rather recommend to read in the Learning Manual for the latest 
development version of LilyPond. Almost all the information you can find 
there is applicable also to version 2.10 and the text has been 
significantly revised and improved. In particular, take a look at 
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.11/Documentation/user/lilypond-learning/Songs#Songs

In this particular example, using \addlyrics is an even simpler option 
(see "Setting simple songs" in the Learning Manual), but otherwise I 
agree that it's a good idea to learn about \lyricsto as soon as possible 
since you will need it sooner or later anyway.
