Am
Every gal in Constantinople
Am
Lives in Istanbul, not Constantinople
E7
So if you've a date in Constantinople
Am                   E7   Am
She'll be waiting in Istanbul

Am
Even old New York was once New Amsterdam
E7
Why they changed it I can't say
Am                   E7
People just liked it better that way

Am
So, Take me back to Constantinople
Am
No, you can't go back to Constantinople

Been a long time gone, Oh Constantinople
Am
Why did Constantinople get the works?
E7                               Am
That's nobody's business but the Turks
