Midnight to six man For the first time from Jamaica Dillinger and Leroy Smart Delroy Wilson, your cool operator Ken Boothe for UK pop reggae With backing bands sound systems And if they've got anything to say There's many black ears here to listen But it was four tops all night with encores from stage right Charging from the bass knives to the treble But onstage they ain't got no roots rock rebel Onstage they ain't got no roots rock rebel Dress back jump back this is a bluebeat attack 'cos it won't get you anywhere Fooling with your guns The British army is waiting out there An' it weighs fifteen hundred tons White youth, black youth Better find another solution Why not phone up robin hood And ask him for some wealth distribution Punk rockers in the UK They won't notice anyway They're all too busy fighting For a good place under the lighting The new groups are not concerned With what there is to be learned They got Burton suits, ha you think it's funny Turning rebellion into money All over people changing their votes Along with their overcoats If Adolf Hitler flew in today They'd send a limousine anyway I'm the all night drug-prowling wolf Who looks so sick in the sun I'm the white man in the palais Just lookin' for fun I'm only Looking for fun

Foi lançada como single de 7 polegadas em 16 de junho de 1978, com a faixa B “The Prisoner” — ambas distribuídas pela CBS Records.
O tema foi produzido pelos próprios membros da banda, enquanto a gravação foi feita sob a orientação do engenheiro Simon Humphries.
Embora tenha sido gravado para o segundo álbum “Give Em Enough Rope”, a música não foi incluída na versão original do disco.
Posteriormente, “(White Man) In Hammersmith Palais” apareceu na versão norte‑americana do álbum de estreia “The Clash”, posicionada entre as faixas “White Riot” e “London’s Burning”.
