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
