What's in this drink?

It has been pointed out on [livejournal.com profile] customers_suck that the wintertime classic Baby, It's Cold Outside is almost a script for date rape. The female (in most versions, evidently there are recordings that reverse the roles) is trying to leave, and the male vocalist won't let her. Indeed, he keeps pushing drinks on her!

Judge for yourself

Good grief. I've never heard that song over here, and I think I'm glad.

Trust me, the bare words come across a lot different than the song.
