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
