Lyrics
(Intro – spoken / playful)
Where is Constantinople?
Constantinople is gone!
What? How?
⸻
(Verse 1)
Where is Constantinople?
Now it’s called Istanbul,
Shining by the waterline,
Old meets new in perfect time.
⸻
(Pre-Chorus)
What? How?
(Istanbul? Constantinople?)
Time keeps moving, can’t you see,
History rewrites the melody.
⸻
(Chorus 🎷)
Constantinople! (shout!)
Istanbul! (shout!)
Constantinople! (shout!)
Istanbul! (shout!)
Call it old or call it new,
City’s got a different view,
Same old streets, a brand new tune,
Dancing under crescent moon.
⸻
(Verse 2)
Once a crown of empires grand,
Now a rhythm in a modern band,
Minarets and echoes flow,
Stories that the ages know.
⸻
(Jazz Break – scat 🎶)
Ba-da-bap, ba-da-bap,
History don’t ever stop,
Shoo-be-doo, shoo-be-day,
Names just change along the way.
⸻
(Bridge – smooth)
From the past into the night,
Golden domes in neon light,
Every corner sings a song,
Where the old and new belong.
⸻
(Final Chorus 🔥)
Constantinople! (hey!)
Istanbul! (yeah!)
Constantinople! (hey!)
Istanbul! (yeah!)
Call it this or call it that,
City’s got a swing like jazz,
Turn the page and let it roll,
History’s a living soul.
⸻
(Outro – soft swing)
Where is Constantinople?
Right here in Istanbul…
Where is Constantinople?
Constantinople is gone!
What? How?
⸻
(Verse 1)
Where is Constantinople?
Now it’s called Istanbul,
Shining by the waterline,
Old meets new in perfect time.
⸻
(Pre-Chorus)
What? How?
(Istanbul? Constantinople?)
Time keeps moving, can’t you see,
History rewrites the melody.
⸻
(Chorus 🎷)
Constantinople! (shout!)
Istanbul! (shout!)
Constantinople! (shout!)
Istanbul! (shout!)
Call it old or call it new,
City’s got a different view,
Same old streets, a brand new tune,
Dancing under crescent moon.
⸻
(Verse 2)
Once a crown of empires grand,
Now a rhythm in a modern band,
Minarets and echoes flow,
Stories that the ages know.
