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'
