秦淮河畔笙歌喧，
                                                                                  名媛名妓艳名传。
                                                                                  文人骚客赋诗夸，
                                                                                  才子佳人恋婵娟。
                                                                                  众香国里八裙钗，
                                                                                  “秦淮八艳”  人称赞。
                                                                                  柳如是，董小宛；
                                                                                  李香君，陈圆圆；
                                                                                  苏小小，马湘兰；
                                                                                  卞玉京，小凤仙。
                                                                                  虽处烟花巷陌地，
                                                                                  琴棋书画不一般。
                                                                                  董小宛的“蝴蝶图”，
                                                                                  马湘兰的“兰花长卷”。
                                                                                  至今尤藏博物馆。
                                                                                  柳如是嫁给了钱谦益；
                                                                                  吴三桂抢走了陈圆圆；
                                                                                  李香君从良候方域；
                                                                                  冒辟疆娶走了董小宛。
                                                                                  她们的故事说不尽，
                                                                                  最动人的当数那，
                                                                                  “冲冠一怒为红颜” 。
                                                                                  李香君血溅桃花扇。
                                                                                  陈圆圆出家为尼五华山。
                                                                                  电影戏曲文人写，
                                                                                  小说诗歌道不完。
                                                                                  休说歌妓名份低，
                                                                                  她们有碑还有“传” 。
                                                                                  明末清初战事多，
                                                                                  大江南北烽火燃。
                                                                                  死难英烈谁有碑？
                                                                                  沙场战死谁有“传” ？
                                                                                  说起李香君，
                                                                                  道起陈圆圆，
                                                                                  文人眼里都是泪，
                                                                                  骚客诗里都是赞。
                                                                                  中华历史五千年，
                                                                                  历史总给歌妓沾。
                                                                                  少了歌妓不风流，
                                                                                  没了歌妓史不鲜。
