No Good Deed

ELPHABA

(spoken) Fiyero!

(sung) Eleka nahmen nahmen

[00:43.70]Ah tum ah tum eleka nahmen

[00:42.28][00:45.90]Eleka nahmen nahmen

Ah tum ah tum eleka nahmen...

[00:41.15][00:49.78][01:11.71][01:46.84][02:06.65][02:30.00][03:27.88]

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

[00:36.96]Let him never die

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?

[01:23.73][02:30.20][02:38.67]No good deed goes unpunished

No act of charity goes unresented

That's my new creed

My road of good intentions

Led where such roads always lead

[03:09.94]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...

All helpful urges should be circumvented

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 cannot succeed

Fiyero, saving you

I promise no good deed

Will I attempt to do

Again

Ever again

Will I do

Again!
