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
