Mister Noel Knowell
was the teacher in the school
Giving a lesson one afternoon.
Little Tommy Tomkins
was the dunce and what a fool
Didn't know which was the sun or moon.
Teacher said to Tommy Tomkins:
"Well see if you can sing this while you spell:"

Constantinople!
C.O.N.S.T.A.N.T.I.N.O.P.L.E.
Constantinople!
It's as easy to sing it as saying your A.B.C.
C.O.N.S.T.A.N.T.I.N.O.P.L.E.
Show your pluck
now try your luck and sing it loud with me.
Constantinople!
C.O.N.S.T.A.N.T.I.N.O.P.L.E.

Constantinople!
C.O.N.S.T.A.N.T.I.N.O.P.L.E.
Constantinople!
It's as easy to sing it as saying your A.B.C.

Show your pluck
now try your luck and sing it loud with me.
Constantinople!
C.O.N.S.T.A.N.T.I.N.O.P.L.E.

Shouting out: "Oh! Where Oh! Where do I live,"
Mister B toddling homewards began to grin.
When a Bobby grabbed him and said:
"Sir, it seems to me
You've got a load on," and ran him in.
When the Sergeant saw him he said:
"Oh! if you sing this chorus you can go:"

Constantinople!
C.O.N.S.T.A.N.T.I.N.O.P.L.E.
Constantinople!
It's as easy to sing it as saying your A.B.C.
C.O.N.S.T.A.N.T.I.N.O.P.L.E.
Show your pluck
now try your luck and sing it loud with me.

Silas Jay of U.S.A.
he thought he'd beat the lot
Fly up to heaven it would be fine.
Father Peter at the gate to Silas Jay said:
"What, what is the password? What is the sign?"
Silas looked at Peter and in bliss
said: "All I can think of Sir, is this:"

Constantinople!
