Now's not the right time for love
'Cause I'm busy building an igloo in Alaska
Perhaps if you had asked me last week
I was redesigning China's political system
And that's not easy
With so many people
With so many mouths
And all that rice
And all those bikes
But don't think twice
But there's so much left to do right here tonight

And now's not the right time for love
Hey, now's not the right time for love

Now's not the right time for love
'Cause I'm busy building a race track in Nebraska
Perhaps if you had asked me last week
I was painting the Empire State Building
And that's not easy
From the top of the ladder
Standing on the head
Of the Statue of Liberty
With a high powered spray gun
Across the bay, hon
Well, there's so much left right here that needs to be done

And now's not the right time for love
Hey, now's not the right time for love

D-d-d-d-d-d-d-did you really think we'd stay together?
My everchanging moods will shift just like the weather
I got seven phone lines and they're ringing off the hook
Hey, I'm trying to change the world and I got no time to look for love

And now's not the right time for love
Hey, now's not the right time for love

Now's the right for love
'Cause I'm busy building an igloo in Alaska
Perhaps if you had asked me last week
I was reorganizing the space system for NASA
And that's not easy
With so many monkeys
And all those hot dogs
Floating in the air
Cute guys with crew cuts
Naming stars
But the gravity keeps pulling them back to the bars

And now's not the right time for love
Yeah, now's not the right time for love
Now's not the right time for love
Hey, now's not the right time for love
