Is-tan-bul__ was Con-stan-ti--no-ple
+5   +5 -6 +7  +8   +5  -6   +7  +8' +8 +8
Now its Is-tan-bul, not Con-stan-ti--no-ple
+5    -6'  -7   -8   -6'  -6' -7 -8 -7
Been long time gone, Con-stan-ti-no-ple
 -6 -6   -6  -6  -6   -6 -6 -6  -6   -6  -6
Now its Turk-ish de-light on a moon-lit night

Eve-ry gal in Con-stan-ti-no-ple
 +5   +5 -6 +7  +8   +5  -6  +7  +8' +8 +8
Lives in Is-tan-bul, not Con-stan-ti-no-ple

Peo--ple just liked it bet-ter that way
+8  -6  +7  +8  +5 -6   +7  +8' +8 +8
So take me back to Con-stan-ti--no-ple
-6  -6   -6   +7  +8  +5 -6   +7  +8' +8 +8
No, you can't go back to Con-stan-ti--no-ple
 +5 +5  -6'  -7   -8   -6'  -6' -7 -8 -8
Been a long time gone, Con-stan-ti-no-ple
+7  -7  -6   -6  -6 -6 -7  +7  -8   +8
Why did Con-stan-ti-no-ple get the works? 
 +8    +5 +5  +5 +5    +5  +5o -6'  -6    
That's no-bo-dys biz'-ness but the Turks
