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
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
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!!!!!!!
