Yes, I did not see at first that both melody and lyrics were stored under
the name 'melody' because I forget how \addlyrics makes an attachment onto
the previous musical expression. Extra braces don't make it any more clear,
so I withdraw that suggestion.
melody = \relative c' {c4 d e f
} \addlyrics { do re mi fa }

Be careful about which version of the documentation you read, that it
corresponds to the version of the program you are actually using.
(Your example looked like it might have used version 2.16)

Bummer. You can remove the \concat {} to get a space between E and flat.
LilyPond reads unicode, in the utf-8 encoding, so you can use the flat
character ♭, unicode 2ffD to write E♭ directly in your input file. Your
text editor might not have a glyph for the flat, but you will see the flat
sign from the roman font in the PDF file.
