Lyrics

72 now he?s old and grey
Daughter says we?re going to Castlemaine
Show some friends ?round the old, old jail
And he didn?t want to go

They made it through to the workers room
It was all too much, emotions were loose
Tears filled his eyes as he broke down and cried and said -
?I?ve got a secret?

Chorus : Cook?s got a secret
Got a past you know
Sooner or later he?ll let it show
His daughter will know by the time they go
That the cook?s got a secret (x 2)

He was 12 years old when he first was there
A prisoner boy for about a year
Rebellious boys they wouldn?t ask
He begged, ?let me out?

They treated them bad, so they wouldn?t come back
Same crime today, people wouldn?t care less
Stealing empty bottles from the back of the shop
Now we all know his secret

Chorus

The people in the room they began to cry
As the old man told of his secret life
He hadn?t told a sole, till that very day
It was sixty years ago

He decided when he got out
He?d turn around and make a brand new start
In years to come, he became
A chef, husband and a father

Chorus
