Bart & Baker - Istanbul (Not Constantinople) lyrics

(Istanbul) [2x]
(Istanbul was Constantinople)
(Now it's Istanbul, Istanbul, Istanbul)

Istanbul was Constantinople
Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople
Been a long time gone on Constantinople
Now it's Turkish delight on a moonlit night
Istanbul was Constantinople
Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople
Been a long time gone on Constantinople
Now it's Turkish delight
[2x]

Istanbul

Even old New York was once New Amsterdam
Why they changed it I can't say [3x]
People just liked it better that way

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?
[4x]

Istanbul

People just liked it better that way [2x]
Istanbul (people just liked it better that way) [3x]

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?
[2x]

That's nobody's business but the Turks
Istanbul
