And what means it this "diddling" of which you speak?

Here's an example from our favorite book:

"So the cat on his fiddle played hey-diddle-diddle, a jig that would wake the dead: He squeaked and sawed and quickened the tune, While the landlord shook the Man in the Moon: 'It's after three!' he said."
