Lyrics
Istanbul was Constantinople Now it's Istanbul not Constantinople Been a long time gone Constantinople Now a Turkish delight On a moonlit night Every gal in Constantinople Lives in Istanbul not Constantinople So if you have a date in Constantinople She'll be waiting in Istanbul Even old New York was once New Amsterdam Why'd they change 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 Do do do, do do d'dododo... Istanbul! Istanbul! Do do do, do do d'dododo... Do do d'do do do do 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!
