(1) Female… Read Full Bio ↴Note The Jewels refers to several bands of the same name.
(1) Female Christian trio from Iowa.
(2) Female soul vocal group from the Sixties.
The Jewels (originally the Four Jewels) got together in their native Washington, DC in the late 50’s as the Impalas. Via an association with Billy Stewart (cousin of group member Grace Ruffin) they recorded at Bo Diddley’s studio (Bo was living in DC at the time, where he hired Stewart as the pianist in his band) and the results became their first 45 for Checker in 1961.
They went on to record several 45s as the Four Jewels for the Start label, as wel as backing Stewart on his 1962 classic ‘Fat Boy’. They recorded another 45 for Checker before signing with Dimension in 1964 and releasing ‘Opportunity’, their first record as ‘The Jewels’*. The tune was a minor hit that year and the group went on to record a few more 45s for Dimension, as well as a James Brown-produced side for Federal.
In 1965 the Godfather brought the Jewels in as part of the James Brown Revue (which is where I had heard their name before). They recorded a number of sides for Brown, including the ‘Papa’s Got a Brand New Bag’ “answer” record ‘Papas Left Mama Holdin’ The Bag’.

Jewels Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lay my ass on the bench
And this is how the words come in
It’s gonna be another nice day
For the group of fellahs looking towards back shades I’m coming to the spot
Lay my ass on the bench
And this is how the words come in
It’s gonna be another nice day
That brings to be in bomb by the green chupa’s
We love committing bluppers boom the funk though us We take the hit from the bomb
I’m on mission like the 007
I take time to burn the warm content
And here again
I would never let it us suck a story
That I’m all getting
From these lyrics, it seems like Jewels is describing a relaxing day at the beach. The phrase "Lay my ass on the bench" suggests a casual and laid-back attitude, as the singer is probably lounging on a bench by the beach. They mention that it's going to be a nice day and that there are other people around, specifically a group of fellahs, who are probably also enjoying the beach.
The lines "That brings to be in bomb by the green chupa's" and "We love committing bluppers boom the funk though us" are a bit cryptic, but they might refer to the singer and their friends enjoying marijuana or some other substance, enhancing their beach experience. The mention of burning "the warm content" could be a reference to smoking or consuming something that brings warmth and relaxation.
The final line, "That I'm all getting," might mean that the singer is fully embracing and indulging in their beach experience, not letting anyone or anything interrupt their enjoyment.
Overall, these lyrics paint a picture of a carefree and blissful day spent at the beach, where the singer and their friends are simply enjoying the moment and soaking up the sun.

I’m coming to the spot
I am arriving at the location
Lay my ass on the bench
I sit down on the bench
And this is how the words come in
This is how my thoughts come to me
It’s gonna be another nice day
The weather will be pleasant
For the group of fellahs looking towards back shades
For the guys admiring the view
That brings to be in bomb by the green chupa’s
That takes us to a lively place with marijuana
We love committing bluppers boom the funk though us
We enjoy making mistakes and embracing the unconventional
We take the hit from the bomb
We consume marijuana
I’m on mission like the 007
I am on a mission just like James Bond
I take time to burn the warm content
I take my time to enjoy the experience
And here again
And once again
I would never let it us suck a story
I would never let a false narrative control us

If there was a beach where it's rocks is mostly gem stones I would probably say to everyone "everyone before you pick anything up let get a good picture of this beauty first!"
