Istanbul (Not Constantinople)

In the style of

They Might Be Giants

Lyrics

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
so if you've 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

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 nobody's
business
but the turks

doo doo doo
doo doo doo
doo doo doo doo
doo doo doo
doo doo doo
doo doo doo doo

doo doo doo
doo doo doo
doo doo doo doo
istanbul

doo doo doo
doo doo doo
doo doo doo doo
doo doo doo
doo doo doo
doo doo doo doo

doo doo doo
doo doo doo
doo doo doo doo
istanbul

even old new york
was once
new amsterdam
why they changed it
i can't say

istanbul
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 turks

doo doo doo
doo doo doo
doo doo doo doo
doo doo doo
doo doo doo
doo doo doo doo

doo doo doo
doo doo doo
doo doo doo doo
doo doo
doo doo doo doo doo

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 nobody's
business
but the turks
istanbul
