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 Constantinopl
She`ll be waiting in Istanbul
Even old New York
Was once New Amsterdam
So take me back to Constantinople
Yikes
No you can`t go back to Constantinople
Yikes
Been a long time gone Constantinople
Yikes
Why did Constantinople get the works
Yikes
That`s nobody`s business but the Turks`
Shall we play
Even old New York
Was once New Amsterdam
Yikes yikes yikes yikes
Even old New York
Was once New Amsterdam
So take me back to Constantinople
Yikes
No you can`t go back to Constantinople
Yikes
Been a long time gone Constantinople
Yikes
Why did Constantinople get the works
Yikes
That`s nobody`s business but the Turks`
Even old New York
Was once New Amsterdam
So take me back to Constantinople
Yikes
No you can`t go back to Constantinople
Yikes
Been a long time gone Constantinople
Yikes
Why did Constantinople get the works
