In origin probably not one of these songs has anything to do with students. 'Yankee Doodle,' for one, has not. It was an old English country dance, printed as such and borrowed, as was the custom, by Dibdin and others to pad out their little hot-pot operettas, long before it went to America, and became nationalized. Nor has Lilli Berlero, the tune of which is attributed to Purcell. Apparently, it was originally a 'quickstep,' but an Irish Protestant, who, in 1687 had written some doggerel verses protesting against some Catholic appointment, saw its possibilities. The lilting tune and the silly verses quickly spread through the whole army and the entire population, to the extent of actually influencing politics. The words Lilli Berlero bullen-a-la have no meaning. They are just a jolly-sounding piece of nonsense.
