Lyrics

[Verse 1]
(And now it's Istanbul, Istanbul, Istanbul)
Istanbul was Constantinople
Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Constantinople
Still it's Turkish delight on a moonlit night
[Verse 2]
Istanbul was Constantinople
Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Constantinople
Still it's Turkish delight
[Verse 3]
Istanbul was Constantinople
Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Constantinople
Still it's Turkish delight on a moonlit night
[Verse 4]
Istanbul was Constantinople
Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Constantinople
Still it's Turkish delight
[Verse 5]
Istanbul
[Verse 6]
Even old New York was once New Amsterdam
Why they changed it, I can't say
Why they changed it, I can't say
Why they changed it, I can't say
People just liked it better that way
[Verse 7]
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?
[Verse 8]
Lets 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?
[Verse 9]
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?
[Verse 10]
Lets 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?
[Verse 11]
Istanbul, Istanbul
[Verse 12]
People just liked it better that way
People just liked it better that way
Istanbul (People just like it better that way)
Istanbul (People just like it better that way)
Istanbul (People just like it better that way)
[Verse 13]
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?
[Verse 14]
Lets 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?
[Verse 15]
That's nobody's business but the Turks
Istanbul
