Istanbul |
Istanbul was Constantinople |
Now it’s Istanbul, not Constantinople |
Been a long time gone, Constantinople |
Now it’s Turkish delight on a moonlit night |
Every gal in Constantinople |
Lives in Istanbul, not Constantinople |
So if you’ve a date in Constantinople |
She’ll be waiting in Istanbul |
Even old New York was once New Amsterdam |
Why they changed it I can’t say |
People just liked it better that way |
So, take me back to Constantinople |
No, you can’t go back to Constantinople |
Been a long time gone, Constantinople |
Why did Constantinople get the works? |
That’s nobody’s business but the Turks |
Istanbul |
Istanbul |
Even old New York was once New Amsterdam |
Why they changed it I can’t say |
People just liked it better that way |
Istanbul was Constantinople |
Now it’s Istanbul, not Constantinople |
Been a long time gone, Constantinople |
Why did Constantinople get the works? |
That’s nobody’s business but the Turks |
So, take me back to Constantinople |
No, you can’t go back to Constantinople |
Been a long time gone, Constantinople |
Why did Constantinople get the works? |
That’s nobody’s business but the Turks |
Istanbul |
