| Lyrics: | 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)
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 |
