いやや こやや - What does this mean?
I was listening to some music by 踊ってばかりの国 (Odotte bakari no kuni) and there is one song called iyaya koyaya... I tried googling this but came up with nothing. Can anyone explain what it means (if anything)?
ありがとう!

My Japanese dictionary is also not helpful. No result for this.
One thing I come up with is a phrase in my dialect around the Kansai region. "い(ー)やや、こやや" is used among small kids when they notice that someone else did a bad thing. They make fun of him/her, singing this.
いやや in my dialect means like "I don't like it=いやです in the polite and standard expression". The こやや part does not have a specific meaning. It seems to be something like a shout in the phrase, using a similar sound to いやや.
This phrase often includes;
い(ー)やや、こやや、せんせいにゆうたろ[this part is also a dialect=せんせいに言うぞ=I'm/We're gonna tell our teacher]
FYI, see 大阪府 in

I said this a lot when I was little.
