"No Good Deed" lyrics

Jonathan Young, Emma Young & YaboiMatoi Lyrics

"No Good Deed"
(originally from "Wicked" musical)

Fiyero!
Eleka nahmen nahmen
Ah tum ah tum eleka nahmen
Eleka nahmen nahmen
Ah tum ah tum eleka nahmen

Let his flesh not be torn
Let his blood leave no stain
Though they beat him
Let him feel no pain
Let his bones never break
And however they try to destroy him
Let him never die
Let him never die

Eleka nahmen nahmen
Ah tum ah tum eleka nahmen
Eleka nahmen nahmen
Ah tum ah tum eleka, eleka

Ugh! What good is this chanting?
I don't even know what I'm reading
I don't even know what trick I ought to try
Fiyero, where are you?
Already dead or bleeding?
One more disaster I can add to my generous supply?

No good deed goes unpunished
No act of charity goes unresented
No good deed goes unpunished
That's my new creed
My road of good intentions led where such roads always lead
No good deed
Goes unpunished

Nessa
Doctor Dillamond
Fiyero
Fiyero!

One question haunts and hurts
Too much, too much to mention
Was I really seeking good
Or just seeking attention?
Is that all good deeds are when looked at with an ice-cold eye?
If that's all good deeds are
Maybe that's the reason why

No good deed goes unpunished
All helpful urges should be circumvented
No good deed goes unpunished
Sure, I meant well
Well, look at what well-meant did

All right, enough
So be it, so be it then
Let all Oz be agreed
I'm wicked through and through

Since I can not succeed
Fiyero, saving you
I promise no good deed
Will I attempt to do again
Ever again

No good deed will I do again!
