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 |
|
