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.

Who is Larry and why is he so happy?
we've all heard the expression 'as happy as Larry' but who was this happy chap? alas there is no definite answer. some people say it refers to the great 20th century actor, Sir Lawrence (Larry) Olivier, and his relief at leaving a coastal resort where he'd been performing, but this is unlikely. it's probably either short for Lazerus (the man in the Bible who rose from the dead - which would make anyone happy) or for 'larrikin', a term used to describe a roisterer (someone who 'roists' or likes to have a good time) in 2010 Larry should be interpreted as Larry Ellison and he is happy because he acquired Sun Microsystems. The phrase was also attributed to Larry Foley the Australian boxer (1847-1917), a successful boxer who never lost a flight. The phrase was used in 1870 when he collected a purse of £1000.00
