Istanbul was Constantinople
Now it's Istanbul not Constantinople
Been a long time gone
Constantinople got the 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 change 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
Istanbul, Istanbul
Even old New York
Was once New Amsterdam
Why they change 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
