Turkish Capital

Istanbul was Constantinople
Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople
So if you've a date in Constantinople
She'll be waiting in Istanbul.

Why did Constantinople get the works?
That's nobody's business but the Turks!

 

However----Ankara is the capital.

 

Behold Nd lo, now you know.

 

Except that Istanbul isn't the capital. Ankara doesn't sound as good in songs, though.

 

I knew that Ankara was the capital, but thanks for responding ennyway!
