"Almost Tomorrow" was a big hit in late 1955 and 1956 when The Dreamweavers, Snooky Lanson and Jo Stafford all had hit recordings. It was written in 1953 with music by Gene Adkinson (who, incidentally, played the ukulele) and lyrics by Wade Buff. "Puff" was based on a poem written by Lenny Lipton in 1959, which was then set to music by Peter Yarrow. It was recorded and released by PP&M in 1963.

I mentioned that Gene Adkinson played the uke for two reasons, 1) Because I am obsessed with the uke 2)Because both "Almost Tomorrow" and "Puff" use the same chord sequence as "My Mammy", and Al Jolson was experiencing a sort of revival in the early fifties, particularly among the ukulele playing crowd. (His music was revived, he died in 1948 and stayed that way).

If you have a mind to, you can alternate verses of the three songs while you pound out the chords, and it tends to shake people up considerably if you do it (it sounds better if you change to 3/4 for AT, but if you really cared about what sounds better, you probably wouldn't be mixing them together anyway)--
