Lyrics Istanbul (Not Constantinople)

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
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
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
