Tony Bennett When In Rome lyrics

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 lie to you prettily

Why think of me bitterly? You know that I'm through
'Xcept 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 once again in Rome, in somebody's den in Rome
Well, pussy cat, then in Rome, I do as the Romans
Disregard the signs and the omens
When in Rome I do as the Romans do
