Even old New York was once New Amsterdam.

Why they changed it, I can’t say.

Maybe people liked it better that way.

No NRA...no Trump...no targeting of a protected class...what’s a liberal to do?

Has an anti-Muslim video been blamed yet? That worked the first time.

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.
