When In Rome

Lyrics

Where can a sick man go
 When he can't choke down the medicine the old doc knows?
 A specialist came to town, but he stays at home
 Sayin', "No one knows, so I don't"
 Honey, when in Rome
 ♪
 Where can a teacher go?
 Wherever she thinks people need the things she knows
 Hey, those books you gave us look good on the shelves at home
 And they'll burn warm in the fireplace
 Teacher, when in Rome
 Grab a blanket, sister, we'll make smoke signals
 Bring in some new blood, it feels like we're alone
 Grab a blanket, brother, so we don't catch cold
 From one another, I wonder if we're stuck in Rome
 ♪
 Where can a dead man go?
 A question with an answer only dead men know
 But I'm gonna bet they never really feel at home
 If they spent a lifetime learning how to live in Rome
