I had a 78 rpm (!) single of Puff (though as I'm three years younger than you, it wouldn't have been until a few years later). I *think* it had the whole song, including the ending, but I don't remember being sad about it.

It's interesting to me always what is a memory and what is a memory of a memory, so to speak. My earliest memories relate to the New York Worlds Fair in 1965, so I was two and change, but they are just pictures in my mind more than anything else. I do remember the blackout of November '65 quite clearly and with a lot of detail.
