LYRICS to Drowsy Don
Marcus Bales
Drowsy Don is your Adderall all gone
But you can huff that stuff in a little while.
They warned you you must stay
There in court now every day
Like a common criminal on trial.
He's 77 and he thinks he's still a player
He's proud to be a liar and betrayer
He flies in on his famous private plane
Sham hair, sham tan, sham confidence, champagne.
In his younger days they called him Creepy Don
Letching after every woman he can lay hands on
Half a half a dozen became his bride
And not a one of them who hasn't cried.
Drowsy Don is your Adderall all gone
But you can huff that stuff in a little while.
They warned you you must stay
There in court now every day
Like a common criminal on trial.
ABOUT THE ORIGINAL SONG
"Delta Dawn" is a song written by musician Larry Collins and country songwriter Alex Harvey. The first notable recording of the song was in 1971 by American singer and actress Bette Midler for her debut album. However it is best known as a 1972 top ten country hit for Tanya Tucker and a 1973 US number one hit for Helen Reddy.
The title character is a faded former Southern belle from Brownsville, Tennessee, who, at 41, is obsessed to unreason with the long-ago memory of a suitor who jilted her. The lyrics describe how the woman regularly "walks downtown with a suitcase in her hand / looking for a mysterious dark haired man" who she says will be taking her "to his mansion in the sky."
Alex Harvey said he wrote the song about his mother:
"My mother had come from the Mississippi Delta and she always lived her life as if she had a suitcase in her hand but nowhere to put it down."
Ten years before Harvey wrote the song, he was performing on TV and told his mother not to come, lest she get drunk and embarrass him. That night she died in a car crash, and Harvey believed it was suicide caused by his rejection.
For years Harvey suffered from guilt over the incident, until a cathartic incident the night he wrote the song. He was at fellow songwriter Larry Collins' house, who was asleep while Harvey noodled around on his guitar. He believed his mother then came to him in a vision:
"I looked up and I felt as if my mother was in the room. I saw her very clearly. She was in a rocking chair and she was laughing...I really believe that my mother didn't come into the room that night to scare me, but to tell me, 'It's okay,' and that she had made her choices in life and it had nothing to do with me. I always felt like that song was a gift to my mother and an apology to her. It was also a way to say 'thank you' to my mother for all she did."
After writing the first few lines of the song, Harvey woke Collins and they finished it together. Reddy's recording in particular includes choir-like inspirational overtones. Though the song is credited exclusively to Collins and Harvey, the melody of the chorus is similar to the Christian hymn "Amazing Grace".
The first recording of "Delta Dawn" was made by Harvey for his eponymous album released in November 1971. Harvey had performed as the opening act for Helen Reddy at the Troubadour, in January 1972, but at that time Reddy (who also was signed with the Capitol Records label) made no connection with any of Harvey's compositions.
After hearing Tracy Nelson sing "Delta Dawn" at the Bottom Line in New York City, Bette Midler added the song to her repertoire.
During the time Tanya Tucker’s and Helen Reddy’s recordings of the song were being produced, Bette Midler recorded "Delta Dawn" for her The Divine Miss M debut album, for which her bluesy version was planned as the lead single. Reddy's single was released June 1973, two days after Midler's. The preemption required a marketing change for Midler, so the original B-side "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy" was shopped to radio, itself becoming a top ten hit.
Also recorded by Tanya Tucker, Helen Reddy and Bette Midler. - ตลก
I don't know whether to be irritated that you have changed the words to one of my favourite songs or impressed that you have (yet again!) come up with something brilliamnt.
Stop press: I've decided - I am most definitely impressed.
I thought it was flat out funny. In spite of loving that song too.
People round NY think he's crazy.
"think"??
He's crazy alright! Cruel, womanizer, thief, corrupt mega liar! So much more..
I’m one of them. We have nothing but contempt for him.
What makes them think that HE'S CRAZY, in reality HE'S ONE REALLY CRAZY DUMB ASS of a HUMAN BEING. And that's the TRUTH
Lots of people not in NY think he's worthless as a human being.
Dopey. Don..the criminal con.
Sleepy Joe? Nooo make it SLEEPY DON THE CON😊!
👍
I can't believe this con man, fascist has any supporters left!
OMG! You all are always awesome. But this has to be your best yet. Made my day start with a smile. 💙💙💙💙

Brilliant! I don't know the original, but should I ever hear it, I know these words will be in my mind! Top drawer writing and performance as ever.
Seems like you've been "botted". I'm never sure whether to report them or leave them (do their messages add to your "algorithm account"? For want of a better description). Hopefully everyone will ignore them. I don't even know what this lot are after!
Delta Dawn (Larry Collins & Alex Harvey).
Cover versions include Tanya Tucker, Waylon Jennings, and Helen Reddy.
BEST parody EVER
LOL. You capture the essence of Don the Con extremely well.
Absolutely perfect! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😎
Who are you people and why has it taken me so long to find your channel??? Not only are your parodies brilliant but your musicianship is superb! You've earned a new subscriber.
I'm amazed about how quickly you got this up with such high production values!
Fantastic
Loved it ! Thank You if you can't laugh you'd cry. Keep up the great work. Show him for what he is.
well done again
Love it! Thank you!!!

Totaly Great, Loved the parody.
Thank You one and all 😊❤❤
Superb performance! It was so good, I forgot it's a parody. You gentlemen are so talented! Thank you!
Don, thank you from the bottom of my heart! You need to add those creeps on the Supreme Court to your play list asap...these people scare me.
@Parody Project • Don: The a cappella introduction made my heart sing. I love listening to your harmonies. A half a half dozen is brilliant lyricizing. Great, great song. Thank you. 👍
Since someone had to do it, I'm so glad it was you guys 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Wonderful, just wonderful!
Thank you!
Thanks for including that amazing back story in the show notes! Helen Reddy's version came out when I was in high school and we used to sing it in our church youth group - but today is the first time I ever heard any mention of it resembling Amazing Grace. I may start thinking of it as "My Sweet Amazing Grace" (sorry, George, couldn't resist...)
I love the parody. But I appreciate the notes regarding Delta Dawn. I hope everyone will take the time to read this account. Thank you for sharing.
Wonderful! I can't wait to share this with my friends!
Love this! Love the background youu provided!👍
Excellent!!!! I SO hope he hears your songs!!!!;
Brilliant, as always!
Exactly Don. Terrific parody. Keep them coming! VOTE BIDEN BLUE💙
Enjoyed your clever spin on a favorite oldie!
Loved this! I was singing along on the chorus!❤
Fantastic! I love your parodies. Always on point.
Love it. Pure genius! 😂
Thank God for Parody Project! It's one of the ways I can keep my sanity in these crazy times!❤
Excellent! This is wonderful!!! (Standing ovation)👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Great harmonies.
Well done! Love you guys!
Fantastic,you all are awesome and brilliant putting this song together.
One of my favorite tunes from childhood, repurposed for today. I love it! Thank you!
Perfect!
Thank you, "guys."
Genius.
Thank you & the crew for another great parody!
When I was six, my father took me fishing. He asked me, "what will you do when you grow up, honey?" And I said "I want to be like you, dad." He smiled, and then caught a fish. We ate well that day. Every time I hear this song it reminds me of that day with dad. If you believe anything I just said, then you need to check the ridiculous glurge stories of people who post comments on popular classic rock songs. They're even more ridiculous than mine. This was a great parody video though, thanks!
The Dictator Parody is being parodied in ways he NEVER IMAGINED
I hope all of these, and other TH-cam Channels, will push Trump over the edge!
Omg…LOVE IT!
Best use of video and AI ( with evidently a little help from a wig or three and some spirit gum) I have yet seen!
Just found you and I Love it!
Welcome!!
This won't change any minds, but DAMN you made me smile!
You guys are the best. Genius lyrics!
Brilliant 👍👍👍👍💙💙💙💙💙🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸!
Brilliant as usual !!
Excellent rendition from Bales & Caron. Made my Saturday nite.🥃🥃🥃🥃
EXCELLENT! Thank you!
You're a comic and musical genius, Don! TY!!
DROWSY DON , lOL . DOZING OFF IN HIS OWN TRIAL , SO UNCOMMON AND SAYS SO MUCH ABOUT HOW HE TRULY THINKS OF RULES AND REGULATIONS
Absolutely brilliant! Love it!
I just found this channel last night and how grand it is! Uplifting to know that others have the same worries I do about our democracy and the degenerates trying to end it. Would be extremely funny if it were not all true. Made me smile, depressed and hopeful at same time. PS: (Binge watching could lead to anxiety as truth reality mixes with extreme laughter. Take 1 to 2 videos at a time every 8 hours!) VOTE BLUE , PLEASE....
This was so well done!
Soooo funny! I love these parodies.
Absolutely fab!!
People around the world thinks he’s crazy
The intelligent ones, yes! I was thinking that, or Alzheimer's.
Because he is and has been that way for decades
Great new lyrics!
Very good job guys keep the up work thank so much
Excellent parody, the rest of the world is wondering how we effed up so badly. Don’t worry guys, so are we.
Thank you! 💐💐💐😎💙😂
