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

Do do do Do do do Do do do

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

Do do do Do do do Do do do Do do 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!
