Istanbul (Not Constantinople) Lyrics
Istanbul - Sarah Vaughan (萨拉·沃恩)
Written by：Kennedy/Simon
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
Now it's Istanbul not Constantinople
Why did Constantinople get the works
That's nobody's business but the Turks
Istanbul
Istanbul
Istanbul
Istanbul
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
Istanbul was 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
Now it's Istanbul not Constantinople
Why did Constantinople get the works
That's nobody's business but the Turks
Istanbul
Istanbul
