The Chimes: A Goblin Story of Some Bells that Rang an Old Year Out and a New Year In, a short novel by Charles Dickens, was written and published in 1844, one year after A Christmas Carol and one year before The Cricket on the Hearth. It is the second in his series of "Christmas books": five short books with strong social and moral messages that he published during the 1840s.
The book was written in late 1844, during Dickens' year-long visit to Italy.John Forster, his first biographer, records that Dickens, hunting for a title and structure for his next contracted Christmas story, was struck one day by the clamour of the Genoese bells audible from the villa where they were staying.
Two days later Forster received a letter from Dickens which read simply: ""We have heard THE CHIMES at midnight, Master Shallow!", and the writing of the book began. Forster describes Dickens' intentions in writing The Chimes as striking "a blow for the poor".
Dickens returned to London for a week in December 1844 and gave readings of the finished book to friends prior to publication, to judge its impact. The artist Daniel Maclise, who had contributed two illustrations to The Chimes and attended two of these events, portrayed the reading of 3 December 1844 in a well-known sketch.
The Chimes (later Lenny Cocco & the Chimes) were an American doo wop group from Brooklyn.
The group came together under the direction of lead singer Lenny Cocco in the mid-1950s. Their first single was a version of Tommy Dorsey's "Once in a While", released on Tag Records. The song became a hit in the U.S., peaking at #11 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1961. The follow-up single was "I'm in the Mood for Love", a song from the 1930s. This hit #38 later that year. In 1962, they began recording as Lenny & the Chimes, and moved to Metro Records and then to Laurie Records in 1963. In 1964, they released the single "Two Times" on Vee-Jay, but broke up shortly after.
In subsequent decades they have re-formed for the doo-wop revival circuit, usually under the name Lenny Cocco and the Chimes.
The Chimes is a short 1844 novel by Charles Dickens.

When I saw you
I thought that you were the one
Looking good, I assumed you were handy
You introduced yourself as Andy
I thought you were the handy-man
I laid my life in your hands
Andy my man
I thought you were the handy-man
Then something went wrong
And the feeling was so gone
Slipped the hammer on your thumb
And the saw got caught in your thong
I thought you were the handy-man
I laid my life in your hands
Andy my man
I thought you were the handy-man
Then something went wrong
And the feeling was so gone
Slipped the hammer on your thumb
And the saw got caught in your thong
I thought you were the handy-man
I laid my life in your hands
Andy my man
I thought you were the handy-man
I thought you were the handy-man
I laid my life in your hands
Andy my man
I thought you were the handy-man
Handy-man
Handy-man
Handy-man
I thought you were the handy-man
