Trevor Horn Orchestra - Istanbul (Not Constantinople) lyrics
rate meIstanbul was Constantinople<br />
Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople<br />
Been a long time gone old Constantinople's<br />
Still has Turkish delight on a moonlight night<br />
<br />
Every gal in Constantinople<br />
Lives in Istanbul, not Constantinople<br />
So if you've a date in Constantinople<br />
She'll be waiting in Istanbul<br />
<br />
Even old New York<br />
Was once New Amsterdam<br />
Why they changed it, I can't say<br />
People just like 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, Istanbul<br />
<br />
Even old New York<br />
Was once New Amsterdam<br />
Why they changed it, I can't say<br />
People just like 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
