My earliest citation for the New Partridge Dictionary of Slang and
Unconventional English is:

"[W]hat was your plot - to hop in bed with me, hop right out again, and
get home before Grace does?  Wham, bam, thank you ma'am?"

Shulman, Max. Rally Round the Flag, Boys!
Garden City New York: Doubleday & Company, 1957, p. 104.
