K. K. Steincke, Goodbye and Thanks (1948), quotes it as a pun used in the Danish parliament in the late 1930s.

Thanks for the note. I can't find that the Steincke attribution has been absolutely verified as the original, though he is certainly one of many who said something similar. I gave it to Yogi because he has so many other good ones.
I like researching the origin of terms and phrases. "OK" is one of the more interesting. "23skidoo" is also fascinating for its risque roots and innuendo, as is "O you kid", two slang terms common in the Model A era.
