stupid song #2

this one's an english song called 6 Little Ducks:

6 little ducks that i once knew
fat ones, skinny ones, fair ones too
but the one little duck with the feather on his back
he lead the others with his quack quack quack

this one really drives me up a wall for some reason. i mean first, there's the adjectives used to describe the ducks...fair just doesn't seem to be an appropriate adjective to go along with fat and skinny. fat and skinny are opposites while fair is just completely unrelated. it really should either have an opposite to go along with the fair, to make things even. i understand that this wouldn't fit in with the melody of the song, so a better option would be to have three unrelated adjectives, for example, skinny ones, fair ones, short ones too.
then the use of the word "but" makes this an improper and incomplete sentence.
but what really drives me crazy is the whole "one little duck with the feather on his back". don't all ducks have feathers on their backs? what makes this one so darn special?
