ISTANBUL (NOT CONSTANTINOPLE)

歌詞

Istanbul was Constantinople Now it's Istanbul not Constantinople Been a long time gone Old Constantinople's still has Turkish delight On a moonlight night Evr'y gal in Constantinople Is a Miss-stanbul, not Constantinople So if you've 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) 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? That's nobody's business but the Turks' < instrumental interlude> Istanbul!! < instrumental interlude> 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 No, you can't go back to Constantinople Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople Why did Constantinople get the works? That's nobody's business but the Turks' 'stanbul!!
