According to wikipedia,
The song is named after MacArthur Park, a park in Los Angeles, California.
It was an unusual single, running for more than seven minutes, with a long, climactic orchestral break. The lyrics were more symbolic and sentimental than descriptive (featuring the notable line, "Someone left the cake out in the rain"), and were apparently about a lost love and a rendezvous in the park.

I always wondered about that too. So far no answer, LOL.
I also like the Weird Al version: Jurassic Park is scary after dark, all the dinosaurs are...running wild....someone left the gate out in the rain... Well, makes more sense than the original.

I believe it was written in a drug enhanced state and although I like the song I have never known exactly what it means. I have always thought of that part of the song symbolising someones life falling apart.

I have no idea but I love that song! It's gotta be a euphimism for something, but what? When you find out, let me know.
