"Happy Times" was created as a ballad with small notes of jazz.

The song was performed by jazz musician Bob Crosby and his group the Bob-cats.

In 2008 Crosby's rendition of the song appeared as part of the soundtrack of Fallout 3. The song made a repeat appearance in Fallout 4 in 2015.

Wish on the moon

And look for the gold in a rainbow

And you'll find a happy time

You'll hear a tune

That lives in the heart of a bluebird

And you'll find a happy time

Though things may look very dark

Your dream is not in vein

For when do you find the rainbow?

Only after rain

So wish on the moon

And someday it may be tomorrow

You will suddenly hear chimes

And you'll have your happy, happy time

So wish on the moon

And someday it may be tomorrow

You will suddenly hear chimes

And you'll have your happy, happy time.
