Lyrics
Istanbul was Constantinople
Now it's Istanbul not Constantinople
Being the long time gone of Constantinople
Still Turkey's alive on the moonlight night
Every girl in Constantinople
Lives in Istanbul not Constantinople
So if you've a date in Constantinople
She'll be waiting in Istanbul
Even though New York was once New Amsterdam
Why they changed I can't say
People just like it better that way
Take me back to Constantinople
No you can't go back to Constantinople
Now it's Istanbul not Constantinople
Why did Constantinople get the works
They had snow but it's better by the Turks
Even though New York was once New Amsterdam
Why they changed I can't say
People just like it better that way
Take me back to Constantinople
No you can't go back to Constantinople
Now it's Istanbul not Constantinople
Why did Constantinople get the works
They had snow but it's better by the Turks
Istanbul, Istanbul, Istanbul
