Operative word 'was'. Now is it ...
1. Russia
2. USA
3. China
4. Iran / Turkey?
I bet Turkey could clean our clock nowadays, which is why I have stopped making any Thanksgiving jokes around them. The last thing we need is a bunch of people from Istanbul coming over here and beating us with those giant drumsticks.
Istanbul was Constantinople
Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Constantinople
Now it's Turkish delight on a moonlit night
Every gal in Constantinople
Lives in Istanbul, not Constantinople
So if you've a date in Constantinople
She'll be waiting in Istanbul
Even old New York was once New Amsterdam
Why they changed it I can't say
People just liked it better that way
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
