Istanbul Songtext
von Chapter 6

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
If you′re on 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′d Constantinople get the works?
That's nobody′s business but the Turks

Istanbul
Istanbul

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'd Constantinople get the works?
That′s nobody's business but the Turks

So, take me back to Constantinople
No, you can't go back to Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Constantinople
Why′d Constantinople get the works?
That′s nobody's business but the Turks
