When In Rome

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 Why think of me bitterly You 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 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 p***ycat, then in Rome I do as the Romans Disregard the signs and the omens When in Rome I do as the Romans do --- When in Rome - Tony Bennett and Bill Evans
