[Verse 1]
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

[Refrain]
And baby, when in Rome, I do as the Romans do

[Verse 2]
If perchance I'm saying farewell to France
And romance drops in from the blue
Cher amour, I beg of you, please endure
My taking a brief detour with somebody new

[Refrain]
It's just that when in Rome, I do as the Romans do

[Bridge]
And though from Italy I lie to you prettily
Why think of me bitterly? You know that I'm through
'Cept now and then in Rome, I get that old yen in Rome

[Refrain]
And naturally when in Rome, I do as the Romans do
[Piano Solo]

[Bridge]
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

[Refrain]
Well pussycat, when in Rome, I do as the Romans
Disregard the signs and the omens
When in Rome, I do as the Romans do
