Istanbul — текст песни (they might be giants)

Istanbul was constantinople

Now its istanbul, not constantinople

Been a long time gone, constantinople

Now its turkish delight on a moonlit night



Every gal in constantinople

Lives in istanbul, not constantinople

So if youve a date in constantinople

Shell be waiting in istanbul



Even old new york was once new amsterdam

Why they changed it I cant say

People just liked it better that way



So take me back to constantinople

No, you cant go back to constantinople

Been a long time gone, constantinople

Why did constantinople get the works?

Thats nobodys business but the turks



Istanbul (istanbul)

Istanbul (istanbul)



Even old new york was once new amsterdam

Why they changed it I cant say

People just liked it better that way



Istanbul was constantinople

Now its istanbul, not constantinople

Been a long time gone, constantinople

Why did constantinople get the works?

Thats nobodys business but the turks



So take me back to constantinople

No, you cant go back to constantinople

Been a long time gone, constantinople

Why did constantinople get the works?

Thats nobodys business but the turks



Istanbul
