That's nobody's business but the Turks Ah Istanbul, Istanbul Ah Istanbul, Istanbul Even old New York was once New Amsterdam Why'd they change it? I can't say People just liked it better that way Istanbul was Constantinople Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople Been a long time gone, Constantinople Why did Constantinople get the works? That's nobody's business but the Turks, hey! [Polka!] So take me back to Constantinople No you can't go back to Constantinople Been a long time gone, Constantinople Why did Constantinople get the works? That's nobody's business but the Turks Istanbul
