Song by Idina Menzel<br /><br>

ELPHABA<br>

(spoken) Fiyero!<br>

(sung) Eleka nahmen nahmen<br>

Ah tum ah tum eleka nahmen<br>

Eleka nahmen nahmen<br>

Ah tum ah tum eleka nahmen<br>

<br>

Let his flesh not be torn<br>

Let his blood leave no stain<br>

Though they beat him<br>

Let him feel no pain<br>

Let his bones never break<br>

And however they try<br>

To destroy him<br>

Let him never die:<br>

Let him never die:<br>

<br>

Eleka nahmen nahmen<br>

Ah tum ah tum eleka nahmen<br>

Eleka nahmen nahmen<br>

Ah tum ah tum eleka: eleka:<br>

<br>

What good is this chanting?<br>

I don't even know what I'm reading!<br>

I don't even know what trick I ought to try<br>

Fiyero, where are you?<br>

Already dead, or bleeding?<br>

One more disaster I can add to my<br>

Generous supply?<br>

No good deed goes unpunished<br>

No act of charity goes unresented<br>

No good deed goes unpunished<br>

That's my new creed<br>

My road of good intentions<br>

Led where such roads always lead<br>

No good deed<br>

Goes unpunished!<br>

<br>

Nessa:<br>

Doctor Dillamond:<br>

Fiyero:<br>

Fiyero!!<br>

<br>

One question haunts and hurts<br>

Too much, too much to mention:<br>

Was I really seeking good<br>

Or just seeking attention?<br>

Is that all good deeds are<br>

When looked at with an ice-cold eye?<br>

If that's all good deeds are<br>

Maybe that's the reason why<br>

<br>

No good deed goes unpunished<br>

All helpful urges should be circumvented<br>

No good deed goes unpunished<br>

Sure, I meant well -<br>

Well, look at what well-meant did:<br>

All right, enough - so be it<br>

So be it, then:<br>

Let all Oz be agreed<br>

I'm wicked through and through<br>

Since I can not succeed<br>

Fiyero, saving you<br>

I promise no good deed<br>

Will I attempt to do again<br>

Ever again<br>

No good deed<br>

Will I do again!<br>

<br>
