[Verse 1]
[Em]Istanbul was Constantinople
Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople
Been a [B]long time gone, Constantinople
Now it's [Em]Turkish delight on a moonlit night
Every gal in Constantinople
Lives in Istanbul, not Constantinople
So if [B]you've a date in Constantinople
She'll be [Em]waiting in [B]Istan[Em]bul

[Bridge 1]
Even [Em]old New York
was once New Amsterdam
[B]Why they changed it I can't say
People just liked it better that way
So, [Em]take me back to Constantinople
No, you can't go back to Constantinople
Been a [B]long time gone, Constantinople
Why did [Em]Constantinople get the [B]works?
That's nobody's business
but the [Em]Turks

Why did [Em]Constantinople get the [B]works?
That's nobody's business
but the [Em]Turks
