Definitely satirical. This song was written in the early fifties and there was a big expectation on women to be prim and proper. So there's a definite wink-wink going on I think with the whole concept of being "taken home" -- sounds like she's being taken away from trouble, but it's really a come on, that she's okay with. The "little aftermath" entendre is brilliant. This song would be scandalous at the time if played on the radio.
