(x) First Song - It's Istanbul (Not Constantinople)

The Alka Seltzer show, transcribed in Hollywood, featuring radio's favorite singing stars, singing stars, cutting ass again, fires on jolt, the music of country water. It's a casselt-sert time, a casselt-sert time. Morning to the night, a casselt-sert time.

I'm Kurt. I'm Martha. And here we go with the a casselt-sert show. Thought we'd like to go to Constantinople. But the airlines just said no to Constantinople. They didn't say the planes were full No they didn't say the planes were full They sold us tickets Sold us tickets tickets to Istanbul Why?

Istanbul was Constantinople Now it's Istanbul not Constantinople Then a long time gone all Constantinople Still he's purposely lied on a moonlit mouth Well every gallon Constantinople lives in Istanbul Not Constantinople So if you've a date in Constantinople, she'll be waiting in Istanbul Even only I was once new Amsterdam Why they changed it I can't say

People just like it better that way, so take me back to Constantinople No you can't go back to Constantinople, now it's Istanbul Not Constantinople, why did Constantinople get the works? Let's know about his business, the Calipation and his good darn all the other Turks.
