Original Broadway Cast - No Good Deed (feat. Idina Menzel) lyrics

rate me

Elphaba:

Fiyero!

Eleka Nahmen Nahmen,

Atum atum Eleka Nahmen.

Eleka Nahmen Nahmen,

Atum atum 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,

Atum atum Eleka Nahmen.

Eleka Nahmen Nahmen.

Atum atum...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!
