(C.Leigh & C.Coleman)
|
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 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
|
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 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!
