It's about taking a swan on a date, then cooking and eating the swan.

lyrics

I found an absent swan here,
the kind that blew my mind
& grafting pens to its wing tips,
I showed it where to sign,
We went out for dinner & a show,
I didn't know she was blind,
They kicked us out for talking too loudly,
One man's trash was a swan's good time

I took the swan back to my house,
I ain't no gentelman jim/tim/slim kim,
I asked the swan if she knew about Leda,
She said, "no I ain't heard of, wait a second, is that him?"
When I awoke the next mornin'
The swan was making to fly,
Oh swanny, swan you know your way around my insides,
but you're still gonna, still gonna have to die,

& to be honest, I was always gonna
cook and eat that bird,
'cause I'ma growin boy,
& swan meat is quite lean
