"No Good Deed" lyrics - STEPHEN SCHWARTZ

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

What good is this chanting?
I don't even know what I'm reading!
I don't even know which 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 un-resented
No good deed goes unpunished
That's my new creed
I wrote 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!
