Gdansk was Danzig
Now it’s Gdansk, not Danzig
Been a long time gone, Danzig
Now it’s Polish delight on a moonlit night
Every gal in Danzig
Lives in Gdansk, not Danzig
So if you’ve a date in Danzig
She’ll be waiting in Gdansk
Even old New York was once New Amsterdam
Why they changed it I can’t say
People just liked it better that way
So take me back to Danzig
No, you can’t go back to Danzig
Been a long time gone, Danzig
Why did Danzig get the works
That’s nobody’s business but the Poles

Very clever David. =)
You could do a similar one of Andalucia, which many people still refer to as Al Andalus. Or Bombay.
