Istanbul was Constantinople now it's
Istanbul, not Constantinople been a
long time gone a Constantinople still it's
Turkish delight on a moonlit night
Every girl in Constantinople lives in
Istanbul, not Constantinople so if
you've a date in Constantinople she'll be
waiting you 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
Take me back to Constantinople now
You can't back to Constantinople now
Istanbul was Constantinople why did
Constantinople get the works?
That's nobody's business but the Turks.
