"Goodbye, So Soon" is a song from the film, The Great Mouse Detective sung by Ratigan. It is played on a vinyl record for Basil's attempted demise.

A more cheerful and upbeat version of the song is heard sung by a chorus during the film's closing credits.

Lyrics[]

Ratigan: Goodbye so soon
And isn't this a crime?
We know by now that time knows how to fly
So here's goodbye so soon
You'll find your separate way
With time so short I'll say so long
And go
So soon
Goodbye

You followed me, I followed you
We were like each other's shadows for a while
Now as you see, this game is through
So although it hurts, I'll try to smile
As I say

Goodbye so soon
And isn't this a crime?
We know by now that time knows how to fly
So here's goodbye so soon
You'll find your separate way
With time so short I'll say so long
And go
So soon
Goodbye

Chorus: Goodbye so soon
And isn't this a crime?
We know by now that time knows how to fly
So here's goodbye so soon
You'll find your separate way
With time so short I'll say so long
And go
So soon
Goodbye

Ratigan: You followed me, I followed you
We were like each other's shadows for a while
Now as you see, this game is through
So although it hurts, I'll try to smile
As I say

Goodbye so soon
And isn't this a crime?
We know by now that time knows how to fly
So here's goodbye so soon
You'll find your separate way
With time so short I'll say so long
And go
So soon
Goodbye

Goodbye, so soon...
And isn't it a shame?
We know by now
That time knows how to fly.
So here's goodbye so soon
We'll go our separate ways,
With time so short I'll say so long
And go, so soon,
Goodbye!

Goodbye, so soon...
And isn't it a shame?
We know by now
That time knows how to fly.
So here's goodbye so soon
We'll go our separate ways,
With time so short I'll say so long
And go, so soon,
Goodbye!
