When on foreign shores I am
Very truly yours I am
But if inclined to play I am

Sweetheart that's the way I am

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

E molto difficile resistere agli uomini d'Italia

Per esempio per esempio i biondi
I biondi di Fiorenze di Venezia
E i bruni di Palermo di Milano

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 honeybunch then 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
Veni vidi Vince?
