She’s lively, messy (in terms of her cooking, and therefore in all other matters), and not without some madness to her method–she is in fact so engrossed in her method that she does not even notice Mr. Todd’s presence looming over her.

This song moves so ridiculously fast, it is essential that the actor have a razor-sharp trajectory in order to communicate her thoughts as clearly as possible. This song (and Mrs. Lovett at large) is incredibly funny when her charming ADD comes through! It is thus imperative that the performer really understands each and every line, and their context in the overall arc.   

At first it may seem that Mrs. Lovett is saying that her pies taste like pity–it definitely sounds like it, as the word “pity” finishes a four-bar phrase. But amusing as this image is, taking away the meter and honoring the punctuation reveal a different meaning: Is that just revolting? All greasy and gritty, it looks like it’s molting, and tastes like– Well, pity a woman alone with limited wind and the worst pies in London! She is asking Sweeney Todd to pity her–this plea is the climax of the song and should win over the audience with its honesty. Or “honesty”? Which one is it? Is Mrs. Lovett an honest woman with a quirky Machiavellian sense, or is she a scheming backstabber with her own agenda for revenge?
