When on foreign shores I am
Very truly yours I am
But if inclined to play I am
Sweetheart, thats the way I am....
When in spain for reasons I dont explain
I remain enjoying a brew
Dont 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 Im saying farewell to france
And romance drops in from the blue
Cherchez lamour I beg of you please endure
My taking a brief detour with somebody new
Its just that when in rome
I do as the romans do
And though from italy I lied to you prettily
Oh dont think of me bitterly
But know that Im 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
molto difficile resistere agli uomini di 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
Dont cable me snappily
To tell me were through
Cause Im once again in rome
In somebodys 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...
Veni, vidi, vince!
