Electronic Istanbul [Not Constantinople] - They Might Be Giants

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

So take me back to Constantinople (yikes)

No, you can’t go back to Constantinople (yikes)

Been a long time gone, Constantinople (yikes)

Why did Constantinople get the works?

That’s nobody’s business but the Turks' (Shall we play?)

Even old New York

Was once New Amsterdam

Yikes

Ahhhhh Ahhh
