"you mean Constantinople"
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 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 did Constantinople get the works? That's nobody's business but the Turks |

+100 to anothey for that reference
But
Istanbul = Muslim kebabs, no good
Constantinople = Christian Byzantines, good
(besides Constantinople and Byzantium/Byzantine sound pretty badass) |
