Istambul |
| 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 |
