When in Rome (I Do as the Romans Do)

Lyrics

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, you know that I'm true
 Except now and then in Rome
 I get that old yen in Rome
 And naturally when in Rome, I do as the Romans do
 È molto difficile resistere agli uomini d'Italia
 Per esempio, per esempio i biondi
 I biondi di Firenze, 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
 Because I'm once again in Rome
 In somebody's den in Rome
 Well honey, quand j'vais 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
 Venni, vidi, vinsi
