Mona Lisa Smile movie - Istanbul (Not Constantinople) lyrics

rate me

Song by Trevor Horn Orchestra<br /><br>

Istanbul was Constantinople<br>

Now it's Istanbul not Constantinople<br>

Been a long time gone<br>

Old Constantinople's still has Turkish delight<br>

On a moonlight night<br>

<br>

Every gal in Constantinople<br>

Is a Miss-stanbul, not Constantinople<br>

So if you've date in Constantinople<br>

She'll be waiting in Istanbul<br>

<br>

Even old New York was once New Amsterdam<br>

Why they changed it, I can't say<br>

(People just liked it better that way)<br>

<br>

Take me back to Constantinople<br>

No, you can't go back to Constantinople<br>

Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople<br>

Why did Constantinople get the works?<br>

That's nobody's business but the Turks'<br>

<br>

Istanbul!!<br>

<br>

Istanbul!!<br>

<br>

Even old New York was once New Amsterdam<br>

Why they changed it, I can't say<br>

(People just liked it better that way)<br>

<br>

Take me back to Constantinople<br>

No, you can't go back to Constantinople<br>

Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople<br>

Why did Constantinople get the works?<br>

That's nobody's business but the Turks'<br>

<br>

Istanbul!!<br>

<br>
