When In Rome (I Do As The Romans Do)

When in Spain for reasons I don't explain

I remain enjoying a brew

Don't deplore my fondness for fundador

You know how a fundador can lead to a few



And baby when in Rome

I do as the Romans do

If per chance I'm saying farewell to France

And romance drops in from the blue



Cherchez l'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 lied to you prettily

Oh don't think of me bitterly

But know that I'm true



Except now and then in Rome,

I get that old yearn in Rome

And naturally when in Rome

I do as the Romans do



You know what I mean?

If I write happily

Best wishes from Napoli

Don't cable me snappily



To tell me we're through

'Cause I'm once again in Rome

In somebody's den in Rome

Well honey, but when in Rome



I do as the Romans do

So just disregard the signs and the omens

When in Rome I do as the Romans do...
