Artist/Band: Blossom Dearie
Lyrics for Song: When In Rome
Lyrics for Album: Diva [2003]



(Cy Coleman/Carolyn Leigh)



When in Spain

For reasons I don't explain

I remain enjoying a brew



Don't deplore my fondness

For fundadoor

You know how a fundadoor

Can lead to a few

And baby when in Rome

I do as the Romans do



If per chance

I'm saying farewell to friends

And romance

Drops in from the blue



Share amour

I beg of you

Please endure



My taking a brief detour

With somebody new

It's just that when in Rome

I do as the Romans do



And though from Italy

I lie to you prettily

Don't think of me bitterly

You know that I'm true

'Cept now & then in Rome

I get that old yen in Rome

Well naturally then in Rome

I do as the Romans do



If I cried happily

Best wishes from Naples-y

Don't cable me snappily

You know that I'm true

'Cept now & then in Rome

In somebody's den in Rome

Well pussycat den in Rome

I do as the Romans

Disregard the signs & the omens

When in Rome

I do as the Romans do

When I'm in Rome

And don't come home

I just do

What the Romans do

I do as the Romans
