Midway hawkers calling
"Try your luck with me;"
Merry-go-round wheezing
The same old melody
A thousand ten cent wonders
Who could ask for more
A pocketful full of silver
The key to heaven's door
Lakeside Park
Willows in the breeze
Lakeside Park
So many memories
Laughing rides
Midway lights
Shining stars on summer nights
Days of barefoot freedom
Racing with the waves
Nights of starlit secrets
Crackling driftwood flames
Drinking by the lighthouse
Smoking on the pier
Still we saw the magic
Was fading every year
Everyone would gather
On the twenty-fourth of May
Sitting in the sand
To watch the fireworks display.
Dancing fires on the beach,
Singing songs together...
Though it's just a memory,
Some memories last forever.

Review about Lakeside Park Growing Up! | Reviewer: Harry | 11/19/09
I was born in Toronto in June of 1957. My parents moved us to Southern California in August of 1961. As a child I would fly back to Toronto for summer vacations. My Grandma mother and Uncle would book a vacation cottage at Port Delhouise and as a child I would spend summer afternoons and evenings at the midway. This song was written for me, I love it!
Did I hear condos, dear god no!

Just wanted to make this correct. It is in St.Catharines, Ontario. Specifically Port Dalhousie. so sorry to burst your bubble dude. Neil Peart went to Lakeport High School, In St. Catharines. Lakeside Park is in Port Dalhousie, St.Catharines, Ontario CANADA !!
i just found out recently that lakeside park is about the actual lakeside park in small town kingsville (in case your wondering where that is, look at the most southern tip of ontario, or rather canada for the fact), and well its cool to know that my small town is recognized by one of the best bands in my opinion in the world
i learned how to play thissong an loved it can ihear it
