When the [bad word] back to Capistrano
That's the day you promised [bad word] back to me
When you whispered, "Farewell", in Capistrano
Was the day the swallow flew out to sea

All the mission bells will ring
The chapel choir will sing
The happiness you'll bring
Will live in my memory
When the [bad word] back to Capistrano
That's the day I pray that [bad word] back to me

All the mission bells will ring
The chapel choir will sing
The happiness you'll bring
Will live in my memory
When the [bad word] back to Capistrano
That's the day I pray that [bad word] back to me
