Now it's Istanbul not Constantinople
Take me back to Constantinople
Even old New York was once New Amsterdam
No, you can't go back to Constantinople
Why they changed it, I can't say
Why they changed it, I can't say
Old Constantinople's still has Turkish delight
(People just liked it better that way)
Even old New York was once New Amsterdam
Been a long time gone
No, you can't go back to Constantinople
Take me back to Constantinople
Why did Constantinople get the works?
Istanbul
Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople
(People just liked it better that way)
So if you've date in Constantinople
That's nobody's business but the Turks'
That's nobody's business but the Turks'
Why did Constantinople get the works?
She'll be waiting in Istanbul

Istanbul, Istanbul
Every gal in Constantinople
Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople
Is a Miss-stanbul, not Constantinople
Istanbul was Constantinople
On a moonlight night
