Come on in

Is it in the east?
You've gone too far
Boys it's over there
Not that far, it's here
It's where you are
Where you goin?
To the city

Istanbul

Is it in the east?
You've gone too far
Boys it's over there
Not that far
It's here, it's where you are
Come on in

Istanbul, Istanbul
Come on in

Come on in

Come on in
