bing crosby & ella fitzgerald - istanbul (not constantinople) lyrics
[verse 1]
istanbul was constantinople
now it’s istanbul, not constantinople
been a long time gone, oh, constantinople
still 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
[pre+chorus]
even old new york was once new amsterdam
but why they changed it, i can’t say
people just liked it better that way
[chorus]
take me back to constantinople
oh no, you can’t go back to constantinople
now it’s istanbul, not constantinople
why did constantinople get the works?
that’s n0body’s business but the turks
[verse 2]

[outro]
n0body’s business but the turks
