When You Say I Beg Your Pardon

When were the earliest and latest references to that song? (I suppose "latest" might be difficult... I'll settle for "earliest")

I believe references in the radio show started in fall of 1951 (although I'm not 100% sure of the date, I think it's around the 2nd or 3rd episode).
In terms of last reference, I know it was referenced as late as season 12 of his TV show.

"Ship off the starboard bow!" "What kind is she?" "She's a Spanish Galleon!" "A galleon?" "Good! That's a quart for each of us!"

George Burns was the fourth member of the Quartet.
