keep on trucking

In the 1920s and 1930s, jazz musicians said keep on truckin'. You can see an example of it near the end of the 1940s cartoon Dumbo, where one of the crows says "I even saw a vegetable truck," and all the crows assume the Keep on Truckin' position.

Truckin' on down the line
Hey hey hey
I say keep on truckin'
Truckin' my blues away.

Keep on truckin' mama
Truckin' my troubles away.
I say keep on truckin' mama
Truckin' my troubles away.
Do that thing you do so well
I can tell what you been doin'
By the way that you smell.
Keep on truckin' mama
Truckin' my troubles away.

This is about 40 years older than the late 1960s.
