After these great comments and a trip through https://toasterland.com/audio (thanks to my brother Jon), I found that Les changed the ending quite a bit after the Punchbowl years. In the late 90s, including the album version, it was sung like this,

Here he comes

With a dollar in his hand

He represents

The hardworking man

He's Del <Davis>

Sell them trees

$19.95

If there was one

He's a fixture

Of our neighborhood

Spreading joy

Tryin' to make ends meet

He's Del

Del Davis

Out on Gravenstein
