No Good Deed Lyrics

Wicked

Elphaba:
Fiyero!

Melaga nama nama natchu natchu melaga amen
Melaga nama nama natchu natchu melaga amen

Let his flesh not be turned
Let his blood leave no stain
When 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!

Melaga nama natchu natchu elega -- melaga-- uh!
What 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, but 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!
No good deed
Will I do
Again!
