Istanbul (feat. Ella Fitzgerald and Ziggy Elman) Lyrics
Istanbul was Constantinople
Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Constantinople
Now it's Turkish delight on a moonlit nightEvery gal in Constantinople
Lives in Istanbul, not Constantinople
So if you've a date in Constantinople
She'll be waiting in IstanbulEven old New York was once New Amsterdam
Why they changed it I can't say
People just liked it better that waySo, 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 TurksIstanbulIstanbulEven old New York was once New Amsterdam
Why they changed it I can't say
People just liked it better that wayIstanbul 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 TurksSo, 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 TurksIstanbul
