Oh i like this. oh i like this! Oh i like this!
Oh, oh oh!
O like to shake it in istanbul.
Let me hear the the darbuka
Swing my body to the saz
Let the keman wake your senses up
With a hint of nay nay nay
If you're stressed and blue and feeling low
Let me tell ya about a place i know
If your clouded mind working over time
And you're looking for a way to let go
Leave it all behind open up your mind
Take your part inside the show
With the dazzling lights and beautiful sights
Are you holding back come on
With a hint of nay nay nay
O i like to shake it in istanbul
You never have to fake it in istanbul
Get me in a taxi to taxim square
Where the spices and aromas linger in the air
And a hint of nay nay nay...
Theres a fresh tempo
With an old key tone
Playing a melody you might know
Take the rainbow bridge from the east to the west
And you won't have far to go
The bazaar, the hamam, the kiz kulesi
Its a magical place you know
You'll smile with delights
You'll smile through the days and the nights
And the memories wont let go
And a hint of nay nay nay...
O like to shake it in istanbul
You never have to fake it in istanbul
Put me in a taxi to taxim square
Where the spices and aromas linger in the air
Nay nay nay...
Nay nay nay...
Let me hear the darbuka
Swing my body to the saz
Let the keman wake your senses up
With a hint of nay nay nay...
Come on, come on what are you waiting for?
Come on, come on, what are you waiting for?
Come on, come on what are you waiting for?
Come on, come on what are you waiting for?
O i like to shake it in istanbul
Never have to fake it in istanbul.
Put me in a taxi to taxim square
Where the spices and aromas linger in the air
With a hint of nay nay nay...
Istanbul.
