They Might Be Giants

Istanbul was Constantinople,

Now its Istanbul not Constantinople,

Been a long time gone from Constantinople,

Now its your delight on a moonlit night.



Every gal in Constantinople 

Lives in Istanbul not Constantinople

So if you visit 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 i better that way.



So take me back to Constantinople,

No you can't go back to Constantinople,

Been a long time gone from Constantinople,

Why did Constantinople get the works?

Thats nobodys business but the Turks.

WHOA!

Istanbul, Istanbul!



Even old New York,

Was once New Amsterdam,

Why they changed it i can't say,

People just liked i better that way.



So take me back to Constantinople,

No you can't go back to Constantinople,

Been a long time gone from Constantinople,

Why did Constantinople get the works?

Thats nobodys business but the Tuuurks!

ISTANBULLLLLLL!!!!!!!
