New song

They say around the way you asked for me

There's even talk about you wanting me

I must admit that's what I want to hear

But that's just talk until you take me there

If it's true don't leave me all alone out here

Wondering if you're ever gonna take me there

They say around the way you've asked for me
There's even talk about you wanting me
I must admit that's what I want to hear
But that's just talk until you take me there oh
If it's true don't leave me all alone out here
Wondering if you're ever gonna take me there
Tell me what you're feeling cause TITLE
Girl you've gotta let me know which way to go
CHORUS
My every thought is of this being true
It's getting harder not to think of you
Girl I'm exactly where I want to be
The only thing is I need you here with me - oh
If it's true don't leave me all alone out here
Wondering if you're ever gonna take me there
Tell me what you're feeling cause TITLE
Girl you've gotta let me know which way to go
CHORUS

"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."

"Been a long time gone, Constantinople

Now it's Turkish delight on a moonlit night.

Every gal in Constantinople"

This song was a hit in 1953 for the original band, and in 1990 for an "alternative" band.

I don't know the actual name, but I would say "Istanbul"

And the only band I know of that sang it was They Might Be Giants

The official title is "Istanbul (not Constantinople)", so you're correct.

They Might Be Giants did the cover, at something like double-time of the original song with different instruments.  The original was performed by "The Four Lads."   BTW, it seems that the lyrics differed slightly.   TMBG  sang "Every gal in Constantinople lives in Istanbul not Constantinople.." The Four Lads sang "Every gal in Constantinople is a Miss-tan-bul, not Constantinople..."    I think I prefer the original lyrics.  The remake was a lot of fun, though.
