Istanbul was Konstantinople

Even old New York once New Amsterdam. Why the changed it, I can't say. People just liked it better that way. So take me back to Konstantinople, no you can't go back to Konstantinople. Been a long time gone, Konstantinople. Why did Konstantinople get the works? That's nobody's business bu the Turks.

. . .

Every gall in Constantinople

Lives in Istanbul, not Constantinople

So if you've a date in Constantinople

She'll be waiting in Istanbul

. . .

There's a picture opposite me

Of my primitive ancestry

Which stood on a rocky shores and kept the beached shipwreck free

Thought I respect that a lot

I'd be fired if that was my job

After killing Jason off and countless screaming Argonauts
