Istanbul (not Constantinople) Lyrics - Wave Mechanics Union

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 

Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople 

Why did Constantinople get the works? 

That's nobody's business but the Turks
