Would you, could you, with a defibrillator?

You do not like to. So you say.
Try it! Try it! And you may.
Try it and you may, I say.
Dexta, If you let me be,
I will try it. You will see.

(... and he volunteers ...)

Say! I like to volunteer!
I do! I like to, Dexta, my dear!
And I would do it with a defibrillator.
And I would do it in a shelter.
And I would do it in a flood.
And I would do it giving blood.
And on the phone. And in a home.
And on a plane. And on a train.
And after a fire. And when I'm retired.
And in a pool. And in a school.
And I will do it here and there.
Say! I will volunteer anywhere!
I do so like to give my time!
Thank you! Thank you! Dexta-so fine!
