Istanbul was Constantinop

Chatterbox: Pudding's Place

Istanbul was Constantinop

Istanbul was Constantinople, now it's Istanbul not Constantinople

There's an old song:

"Take me back to Constantinople/No, you can't go back to Constantinople/'Cause it's Istanbul, not Constantinople/ I'll be waiting there in Istanbul."

Been a long time gone, oh Constantinople

Now it’s Turkish delight on a moonlit night

Ooh this is a longtime favorite!  I love your taste!  I was once at an art car parade, and one of the cars had a bunch of singing fish and lobster powered by hydraulics on it.  they sang this song and it made me very happy.

 

Every gal in Constantinople
