<<< Anyway, *every* time I've  heard this record in the  twenty or so years 
I've known about it, there was a keyboard after the  second chorus playing the 
melody for a few bars, >>>
 
Tom says:
<<< Second chorus? Unless you have REALLY different mix, it's  almost at the 
end of the song. >>>
 
Well yes, we're both right...After that second chorus the record is pretty  
much over, save for that little tag bit.
 
<<< I always thought it was a toy horn of some sort, or a trumpet  recorded 
to sound like a toy horn. A cheapo keyboard makes more  sense. >>>
 
It does sound like a horn, but as I learned online just now, Les Fradkin  
claims he plays mellotron on the song, so I'm guessing that's what that  is.
 
This "mix difference" I heard today is just one of those record geek kinda  
things that mess me up upon hearing them...like the first time I ever heard 
"Are  You A Boy Or Are You A Girl" with the "Yeah, boys wear pants"...or the 
first  time I ever heard "Laugh Laugh" with the cold ending.
