The expression could be from Australia or New Zealand. It was quoted by a New Zealand writer in 1875 'we would be as happy as Larry if not for the rats'. This may have been a reference to the Australian boxer Larry Foley, (1847-1917) who never lost a fight. He collected a purse of a £1000.00 for his final fight, a great deal of money at the time - no doubt he was very happy.
