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 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

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
And since I can't succeed
Fiyero, saving you
I promise no good deed
Will I attempt to do again
Ever again
No good deed
Will I do
Again
