sorry, that was wrong. It's called scat
AnswerScat singing also has to be improvised. I would call singing with only meaningless syllables "vocalizations", which can apply to both improvised vocal noises (eg. Ella Fitzgerald) and planned, written noises that are part of the lyrics (eg. "Hey Jude", "The Look").
--------------------
Singing solfege (putting syllables from the scale do, re, me, fa... on the melody) could also be meant by "without lyrics."
It is called word painting. An example could be when singing the word "Up," the word would be sung in a high note compared to "Down," in a lower note
no mirza.
Because without it, the song has no soul. Music can evoke emotions without the use of words. Instrumental music does exactly that.
The theme music is called "If I Had Words."
In church services in the 700s and 800s, the sheets with words and music on them were passed out during church so everybody could take part in the singing of religious ceremonies.
While there are several different types of singing without words, a common one is called scat singing. This type started in jazz and has transcended to many different genres.
Lyrics imply either singing or talking, as lyrics are words, but music with no singing is called instrumental music. If you are talking about compact discs or tapes that provide only written lyrics and music, this is called a performance track and an individual can sing the song with their own voice in place of the original artists. Karaoke is an example of this.
To say or recite words in a tune or melody.

Uh, you are kinda confusing me. What do you mean by that?
It means without accompaniment (instruments). In other words all vocals, no other music.
scat singing? if that's what you mean
It is called scat its a bit like ad. libing but normally its been rehearsed. scat is often used in blues songs. Solfage is another type of signing, using meaningless syllabils to express notes. It is often part of music competitions, where the choir must sight read an unknown piece of music and perform it.
Vocal music is coming from the voice while instrumental music is coming from the instrument. As a result, vocal music can have words while instrumental music cannot.
improvisation
It is in the words that people put to the music that you find it to be religious or everyday. When people sing the words, they may be singing to God if it is religious. The musical sounds themselves have no such divisions.
