Istanbul(not costantinople) - Renato Carosone
Lyrics by：Nat Simon/Jimmy Kennedy
Composed by：Nat Simon/Jimmy Kennedy
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
Been a long time gone Constantinople
Why did Constantinople get the works
That's nobody's business but the Turks'
Even old New York was once New Amsterdam
Why they changed it I can't say
People just liked it better that way
Istanbul was Constantinople
Now it's Istanbul not Constantinople
Been a long time gone Constantinople
Why did Constantinople get the works
That's nobody's business but the Turks
Istanbul Istanbul
Istanbul
