Where did the expression WHY I OUGHTER come from?

Why I oughta, why I oughta, bam, pow, zoom, to the moon, Alice.  To the moon.

Ralph Kramden as performed by Jackie Gleason in the Honeymooners

That's the oldest example I can think of at the moment. 

I thought of Abbott and Costello, too.  But I wasn't sure.  I think Moe of the Three Stooges might have said it too.  Ralph Kramden was just the only one I was sure of.

It probably was first said in the 19th century, like "Sock it to him" (Laugh In, a 60s show, but Mark Twain used the expression in "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court".)  Probably Mark Twain or Ring Lardner used it in a book and comedians picked it up by accident.

Keep thinking, the answer is out there somewhere.
