[00:16.59] Istanbul was Constantinople

[00:22.45] Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople

[00:25.38] Been a long time gone, Constantinople

[00:28.32] Still it's Turkish delight on a moonlit night

[00:32.03] Every gal in Constantinople

[00:34.68] Lives in Istanbul, not Constantinople

[00:37.60] So if you've a date in Constantinople

[00:40.80] She'll be waiting in Istanbul

[00:43.46] Even old New York was once New Amsterdam

[00:49.85] Why they changed it I can't say

[00:53.32] People just liked it better that way

[00:56.51] Take me back to Constantinople

[00:59.16] No, you can't go back to Constantinople

[01:02.09] Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople

[01:05.04] Why did Constantinople get the works?

[01:07.69] That's nobody's business but the Turks

[01:23.63] Doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo doo doo

[01:26.83] Doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo doo doo

[01:29.76] Doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo doo doo

[01:32.96] Istanbul (Istanbul)

[01:35.60] Doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo doo doo

[01:38.78] Doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo doo doo

[01:41.98] Doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo doo doo

[01:45.43] Istanbul (Istanbul)

[01:47.56] Even old New York was once New Amsterdam

[01:53.39] Why they changed it I can't say

[01:56.86] People just liked it better that way

[02:00.31] Take me back to Constantinople

[02:02.71] No you can't go back to Constantinople

[02:05.90] Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople

[02:08.83] Why did Constantinople get the works?

[02:11.74] That's nobody's business but the Turks

[02:17.34] Istanbul!
