Translator notes:

The title seems to be purposely confusing, with:

蛙 (kawazu) [frog] possibly refers to the Kawazu City. In the part he sings "kawazu-tachi" = frogs, but may refer to 河津 町 (kawazu-machi) = Kawazu city

In the passage can be: surrounded by the same frog faces OR surrounded by the same faces of the people from Kawazu city. (or maybe it's just about frogs)

バ ッ ト (BATTO), although it may mean bat(animal), is probably a bat (baseball) [probably, in english this is obvious, but I suppose there's some languages that its not, so I'll leave here this brief explanation]

and during the song he does not sing 機関銃 (kikanjuu), but machine gun [both means the same]
