   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
