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.
Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople.
Why did Constantinople get the works?
That's nobody's business, but the Turks'!
