No Good Deed Lyrics

Elphaba is trying to cast a spell to save the person she loves, Fiyero, but it doesn’t go as expected. She then goes on to swear she will never perform a good deed again, as any that she has done before led… Read More 

[ELPHABA]

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

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

Alright, 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
