I'm not finding this. Closest thing I've come across is "Let's blow this pop stand" from 'A Nightmare On Elm Street: The Dream Child' (1989)

Dan Jordan: "And as adults, we must now prepare for our new life outside this wonderful environment known as Springwood High... So let's blow this pop stand."

Robin Williams said it in an episode of "Mork & Mindy" in the late 1970s. At the time, I was unfamiliar with the expression, but he delivered it as though he were riffing on a well-known cliche. In fact, around the same time I heard a college buddy use the phrase "Let's blow this pop stand" repeatedly.

Rancho Deluxe (1975)

Henry Beige: I'm gonna give you a rule of thumb. You foller it and you just might hold on to this ranch of yours. All large-scale crime is an inside job. Takin' fingerprints and sendin' trash off to the lab just don't get her done. If you're dealin' with people, you gotta be human.

Laura Beige: C'mon Henry, let's blow this pop stand. I wanna get to Great Falls and spend my cut.

This movie starred Jeff Bridges and Sam Waterston. The Beiges were played by Slim Pickens and Charlene Dallas.
