This version of Thank God It's Christmas comes from the 1992 Queen Talks Promo CD by Hollywood Records and released in the USA in 1992.

In the Summer of 1984, Brian and Roger began work on Queen's only Christmas track. Brian's main contribution ended up becoming a song for Anita Dobson called I Dream Of Christmas. What finally came out of the Roger/Brian writing collaboration was Thank God It's Christmas. The song became a minor hit, reaching #21 in the UK. This version is just like the regular release, just with a longer drum intro. Preferred to the regular mix.

Written by: Roger Taylor and Brian May
Produced by: Queen and Mack
Musicians:
Freddie Mercury - lead and backing vocals
Brian May - guitars, synthesizer, backing vocals
Roger Taylor - drums, drum machine, synthesizer, sleigh bells, backing vocals
John Deacon - bass guitar

Lyrics:

Oh, my love, we've had our share of tears
Oh, my friends, we've had our hopes and fears
Oh, my friends, it's been a long hard year
But now it's Christmas
Yes it's Christmas
Thank God it's Christmas

The moon and stars seem awful cold and bright
Let's hope the snow will make this Christmas proud
My friends, the world will share this special night
Because it's Christmas
Yes it's Christmas
Thank God it's Christmas
For one night

Thank God it's Christmas, yeah
Thank God it's Christmas
Thank God it's Christmas (oooh)
Can it be Christmas (oooh)
Let it be Christmas
Every day

Oh, my love, we live in troubled days
Oh, my friend, we have the strangest ways
Oh, my friends, all this, one day, all days
Thank God it's Christmas
Yes it's Christmas
Thank God it's Christmas
For one day

Thank God it's Christmas
Yes it's Christmas
Thank God it's Christmas
Ooooh, yeah
Thank God it's Christmas
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yes, it's Christmas
Thank God it's Christmas
For one day

Christmas
And a very merry Christmas to you all
