Ly/Tune Req: See How I Am Jumping (Flemish?)

Subject: Tune Req: & Lyrics -see how I am jumping-in movie
From: katlaughing

This song was presented as a "Flemish folk song" in the 1954 movie, "Rhapsody" with Elizabeth Taylor. It was a beautiful tune and the words were simple, but enchanting. According to the movie it was called "See how I am jumping" and was a children's song.

Anyone heard of it, or was it just Hollywood fantasy?

Thanks,

kat

The Internet Movie Database (IMDb) lists only two items in the soundtrack of "Rhapsody":
    "Concerto In D Major For Violin And Orchestra" by Peter Ilyitch Tschaikowsky, and
    "Concerto #2 In C Minor For Piano And Orchestra" by Sergei Rachmaninoff
In the cast & crew credits, it also says:
    Original Music by
      Johnny Green
    Non-Original Music by
      Franz Liszt,
      Sergei Rachmaninov,
      Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky,
      Claude Debussy (from "La Que Plus Lente") (uncredited)

Thanks, Jim. I knew what the classical pieces were. Looks as though this was just someting written by Johnny Green, then, I suppose. It was a beautiful tune. Maybe with his name I can find it.

Thanks, again,
