Instanbul was Constantinople
Now it’s Istanbul, not Constantinople
Been a
Long time gone, Constantinople
Now it’s a Turkish delight on a moonlit
Night
Every gal in Constantinople
lives in Istanbul, not Constantinople
So if you’ve got a date in Constantinople
she’ll be waiting in Instanbul
Even old New York
was once New Amsterdam
Why they changed it I can’t say
People just liked it better that
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
Instanbul
