I was going to guess it came from the Sopranos.

Probably too easy:

Yep! Love that whole bit with Bo Didley as the pawnbroker.

[Pawnbroker](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0225775/?ref_=tt_ch) : Man, that watch is so hot, it’s smokin’.

And the last line…

Died at the age of a hundred and three  
For fifteen years she kept her virginity  
Not a bad record for this vicinity

You’re kidding! 😮 The only reason I remember that particular scene is because my girlfriend at the time had the hots for Mr Fox.
