I think you need to specify a \staff around the music parts, then specify the \lyrics below the closing bracket of each staff. Here is what I am doing and the \lyricsto is working fine for me: (I'm using 3 part polyphony voices on a single staff, but in your case you should be able to put lyrics below each separate staff that has a named voice.) Note in the example below anything that begis with "\var" are my own variables that are set up by a separate song-specific .ly \include file.
