Lyrics
|
Istanbul
|
was
|
Constantinople
|
Now
|
it's
|
Istanbul,
|
not
|
Constantinople
|
Been
|
a
|
long
|
time
|
gone,
|
Constantinople
|
Now
|
it's
|
Turkish
|
delight
|
on
|
a
|
moonlight
|
night
|
Every
|
gal
|
in
|
Constantinople
|
Lives
|
in
|
Istanbul,
|
not
|
|
Lyrics
|
Constantinople
|
So
|
if
|
you've
|
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
|
|
Lyrics
|
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
|
|
Lyrics
|
nobody's
|
business
|
but
|
the
|
Turks
|
Istanbul,
|
Istanbul
|
Istanbul,
|
Istanbul
|
Even
|
old
|
New
|

|
was
|
once

Why
