Bagpuss is 40! Emily, Gabriel the Toad, Madeleine, Professor Yaffle and the mice are throwing him a party. First Emily sings her special song to wake him up…

Bagpuss, dear Bagpuss, old fat furry catpuss
Wake up and look at this thing that I bring.
Wake up, be bright! Be golden and light!
Bagpuss, oh hear what I sing!

…and at once the saggy old cloth cat is wide awake and full of life and the party is ready to start!
