But where does the name come from? That line is from the song Mairzy Doats, a popular novelty song from the 1940s. The lyrics are playful and full of nonsensical-sounding phrases: "Mairzy doats and dozy doats and liddle lamzy divey. A kiddley divey too, wouldn't you?" When said slowly, it reveals its meaning: "Mares eat oats and does eat oats and little lambs eat ivy. A kid’ll eat ivy too, wouldn’t you?"


This lighthearted wordplay is likely what inspired the fun and memorable name Kiddleydivey. It ties into the sense of fun and wonder that Kiddleydivey music practitioners, like Emma, bring to their sessions.

The whimsical nature of the name reflects the playful and engaging atmosphere of the music programs aimed at sparking joy and connection among participants.
