I've got it! Thanks to dictionary.com, and it rhymes!

La - The sixth tone of the diatonic scale in solfeggio

It might be a bit difficult what with far too many syllables, but what can you do?

Thanks,
Lig.

Excellent! But how about shortening it to:
'La - the sixth note in solfeggio'?

But is that not then completely tautologous? Do re me etc ARE the names in the sol-fa system, the song is trying to come up with different names for them...

LA - to Holywood we go

LA - (law) where judge and jury know

Brilliant suggestions. I agree about the tautology and I like 'to Holywood we go'. Well done. At last an age-old problem is solved.
